The south Wales dormouse survey is a joint project between 14
local authorities in south Wales, Gwent Wildlife Trust, the
Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales and the Countryside Council
for Wales.
Bridgend County Borough Council has produced a
dormouse survey information pack that provides volunteers with all
the information required to take part in the survey. A second
survey pack has also been produced which gives tips on how to
organise a nut hunt as part of a school or community group
event.
As part of the make space for
wildlife project, an event for schools will be held on the
21st of November at Porthkerry Country Park - contact Claire Pooley
for details (cpooley@valeofglamorgan.gov.uk). Other
training events are also being held across the South Wales
area.
You can download copies of the packs with full
instructions on how to carry out a nut hunt from this page or for a
hardcopy contact Sarah Mellor (the biodiversity officer at
Bridgend) at 01656 643667 or mellos@bridgend.gov.uk.
