Devon Wildlife Trust (DWT) has just received funding to help with conservation work to improve the lot of dormice at a number of its nature reserves.
The £4986 grant from the Pennon Environment Fund will help the charity’s reserve officers to implement and enhance coppicing regimes at its Andrew’s Wood, Lady’s Wood, Scanniclift Copse, Sourton Quarry and Dunsford nature reserves in the coming months.
The site is collated by volunteers, help feed Sadii! (See the Gallery!)

Hi,
I work on a campsite just outside Colyton. The kids just found a dormouse in the games room, the first I have evr been privileged to see. It is very small and sleepy, I have put it in a box with some material, it didn’t want to leave my warm finger! but I don’t know what best to do with it now. Any ideas?
Hi,
My only experience of these beautiful little creatures is when one found its way under my tee shirt while i was searching for a golf ball where the tall grasses met low tree branches some years ago.
