On the farm:  Dormice

Dormouse in nest box (C) E. Marnham PTES

We'll be looking for suitable dormice habitat and making footprint tunnels to put out on the farm so we can survey for these small mammals.

Plus, help check and reset hedgehog footprint tunnels and have a go at the footprint ID challenge (for younger participants).

Please note that activities are designed for ages 7 years to adult, however families with children aged under 7 are welcome at this event. All children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
