A summary
Funded by Bupa Green Grant, Mike Phillips will be running a series of dormice and reptile surveys in 2025. During the session you will learn about dormice and reptiles - did you know that there are three types of mice living in UK woodlands? Do you know why dormice sleep during the winter and what they eat? So take in the beauty of the woodland and learn how to monitor the impact of activities on an ancient woodland such as Gorham and Admiral Woodlands. So if you run your own sessions in an ancient woodland do come along and get advice from an expert ecologist!
