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
I liked the way Sue explained each module, she was clear and her passion was visible! She motivated me even more!
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.
Very easy to understand and accessible
The teaching is excellent. It’s clear, precise and easy to follow. The knowledge from Sue is fantastic and it’s taught in a very understandable way with no rush. It’s been really good and I feel I’ve been able to retain the information well because of the way the course has been taught.
Flexibility and easy to follow layout.
I liked the ability to undertake the course at my own pace.
