| | Hazel Dormouse Conservation Handbook: Author interview |
| | The third edition of the Hazel Dormouse Conservation Handbook is based on the most recent research and practical experience available on the ecology of Hazel Dormice. It provides information on best practices for conservation, whilst a separate publication, the Hazel Dormouse Mitigation Handbook, offers further information for those involved in development projects across the UK that may affect Hazel Dormouse populations.
We recently had the opportunity to speak to authors Simone Bullion, Rob Wolton and Ian White about the most recent volume, including the latest updates, how they became interested in Dormouse conservation and more. |

Devon’s Living Churchyard Project |
|  | Over the last 6 months, NHBS has had the opportunity to work alongside Devon's Living Churchyard Project by donating a number of bat and bird boxes to be installed in churches across Devon. This initiative aims to manage churchyard environments while also encouraging wildlife, biodiversity and sustainable management practices.
