Dormice are fascinating and beautiful little creatures protected by law in the UK. As a protected species, it is important that you understand how to protect them if you are likely to be working on a site with dormice. This Dormice and Developments course is designed to teach you about dormouse ecology and how developments impact and are impacted by the presence of Dormice. We will look at the laws that protect dormice and the mitigation techniques we can use to ensure developments are carried out lawfully and in a way that keeps dormice safe.

This course is aimed at anyone working on sites that have or may have, dormice and at ecologists working under infrastructure maintenance contracts. Dormice and Developments is delivered as a pre-recorded Webinar taught by an experienced principal ecologist from Ecology Training UK.

We will cover the following topics:

  • Dormouse ecology (brief overview)
  • Dormice and the law
  • Dormouse issues in development projects
  • European Protected Species Licences
  • Mitigation techniques
  • Case studies of dormouse projects

Dormice and Developments

Here’s what our students are saying:

A career change in your 40’s its quite a daunting prospect, and even though I had completed lots of self study, small courses and training- I knew there were likely a few gaps in my knowledge, so doing a full structured course made good sense. Whilst some of the content was quite familiar, I was surprised by just how big some of the knowledge gaps were – it really boosted my confidence studying the modules and realising why they were so important. It is a great course that I would recommend to anyone wanting to qualify in Conservation, and has certainly helped me in my new career working as part of a landscape recovery project team

The course was enjoyable and informative. I found it particularly helpful in how flexible the study time was. You could do one module and then leave it a day or two when you had more time. It has also helped my career prospects.
