A solidly built softwood box. Nest box survey schemes for dormice are important for survey monitoring, habitat enhancement and re-introduction schemes. However, dormouse boxes should only be used if there is evidence that there are dormice in the area. Site boxes well away from public areas, near a potential routeway such as honeysuckle or leaning branches. Position approximately 2.5 m above ground, on trees or other suitable support, with the hole facing inwards. Use wire loops rather than nails so the boxes can be easily removed.

N.B.: Dormice are legally protected and must not be handled unless you have a licence to do so.
