Dormouse Ecology, Conservation and Woodland Management – Tuesday 1st April & Wednesday 2nd April 2025

During this online course, we will look at the ecology of dormice, their conservation and relevant legislation. We will also consider woodland management for the species.

This course is an excellent first step for those wishing to get involved in dormouse conservation and it is recommended as a first step for those wishing to train for their dormouse license. It will not, however, provide you with a reference for your dormouse license application.

This course will be run over two afternoon sessions and cost £50 or £80 depending on a delegates position.
