Dormouse nest boxes provide a reliable method of surveying for dormice in woodland or hedgerows and, when checked on a regular basis by an ecologist, can be used to determine species presence or absence. Dormouse tubes provide a more economical option and are ideal for determining dormouse presence before wooden boxes are installed for continued long-term monitoring. Footprint tunnels are a good option for scrub and hedgerow habitats and have the advantage of being non-invasive.
