Dormouse

The dormouse has become extinct in seven other counties in the UK. In Warwickshire we have just a few remaining populations but it is not too late to act. Due to changes in land management practice, the patches of habitat where dormice can live have become fragmented. This can leave them isolated and vulnerable. Projects like our large areas scheme in the Princethorpe Woodlands aim to create corridors to allow these elusive creatures to travel through the tree canopy and colonise new areas of woodland.
