9 SMG members but only 1 licence holder joined 9 National Trust Holiday makers (Acorn camp on Dormice conservation) to survey the 210 boxes in the wood.
Only 2 dormice were found one on either side of the wood with nests found more on the left then right. 2 new nests were found at the top of the wood showing the dormice have expanded in to that area.
Pygmy shrews were found in serveral boxes ( photo) but no wood mice were seen.
The NT Volunteers went on to make 100 boxes 30 of which will replace the rotten and mising boxes from the wood. the remaining boxes will be put up to find out were else the dormice are expanding to.
