Essex and Suffolk Dormouse Project - tube survey
We are collaborating with the Essex & Suffolk Dormouse Project to undertake a county-wide survey of potential dormouse sites using survey 'tubes'. This project will give an accurate picture of dormouse distribution throughout Essex. The project involves training volunteer surveyors.
Dormouse site box monitoring
There are a suite of sites throughout Essex provided with dormouse nest boxes which are regularly monitored. The results are collated and fed into the national Dormouse Monitoring Scheme. There is a training and protected species lincensing programme in place.
For further information see the People's Trust for Endangered Species.
In the winter 2009 to 2010 they are organising The Great Nut Hunt
