House a dormouse

With house a dormouse, you’ll be helping keep dormice safe from extinction. We run national monitoring of over 24,000 dormouse houses throughout the UK, and in areas where dormice have become extinct, we reintroduce captive-bred dormice to start new populations.

Placing dormouse boxes in woodlands with a limited range of natural nesting sites has been shown to boost local populations – that is why we are asking you to help us protect dormice by housing a dormouse.

Find out why dormice are endangered, how dormouse reintroductions work, see the decline of dormice across the UK, look at our House a Dormouse gallery of dormice photos, see some dormouse videos or see answers to some of the frequently asked questions about House a Dormouse by choosing a button below.
