Details
The hazel dormouse has declined across Europe and is subject to concerted conservation effort in the UK to reverse the decline. Dormouse nest boxes are an important conservation tool as they can boost local dormouse population density and are used in survey monitoring, habitat enhancement and re-introduction schemes.
Carefully created to provide a safe dormouse nest, the nesting box comes with convenient access for inspection and cleaning, through its completely removable roof. A screw is conveniently situated on the front of the nest box to assist fastening by wire round the tree. The panels for this box are precision cut from exterior grade plywood.
The dormouse nesting box is best positioned about 1.5m above the ground attached to a small tree trunk or other suitable support. The entrance hole should be facing towards the tree as this reduces the chances that birds use the box.
