  Professional Development Course.

A course for anyone with a professional or a strong amateur interest in this elusive small mammal of woodlands and hedgerows, which is fully protected under UK and European law.

It is suitable for countryside professionals and managers interested in Biodiversity Action Plan species and anyone wishing to work towards a Natural England license to handle dormice.

Through a combination of sessions indoors and outdoors, we shall cover a wide range of topics including the ecology of dormice and reasons for their scarcity, surveying methods, nest box monitoring and safe handling techniques, habitat management and interpreting wildlife law.

The content is also appropriate for anyone wishing to contribute to their Continuing Professional Development (CPD) requirements.

Certificate of Attendance will be available at the end of the course. Please note, however, that the Course Tutor will not be able to act as a referee for a Dormouse Licence on the basis of this course alone.

Simone Bullion is a Consultancy Manager and Senior Conservation Officer with Suffolk Wildlife Trust and is closely involved with dormouse reintroduction schemes in Suffolk and Essex.
