Dormouse

Dormouse

The common or hazel dormouse can spend a large amount of its lifecycle asleep or hibernating when food is scarce to conserve energy and can be found in suitable habitats throughout England. We carry out all aspects of dormouse work from licensed field surveys and mitigation work to European Protected Species licencing, mitigation and where necessary habitat enhancements. 

Dormouse Surveys and Mitigation

Surveys for dormice using nest tubes should cover a whole season and normally take place between March and October with tubes being checked once a month. Nut searches are undertaken from September to November.

Dormouse surveys are undertaken using a range of techniques, including the following:
  • Thorough in-depth desk-based assessments 
  • habitat assessment to help determine likely absence/ presence and to target further survey work
  • nest tube surveys
  • nut searches
  • European Protected Species Mitigation licence application
  • translocation and mitigation for hazel dormouse
