To celebrate dormouse week, prepare for intensely cute images of a sleepy hazel dormouse!

In this film by accomplished wildlife film maker Tom Hartwell, Ian White from the People's Trust for Endangered Species (PTES) introduces us to the work of the PTES as part of the National Dormouse Monitoring Programme, https://ptes.org/campaigns/dormice/surveying-and-monitoring-hazel-dormice/national-dormouse-monitoring-programme-ndmp/.

A licence is required to take, disturb or possess hazel dormice to survey for research, conservation or development projects. For more information on the legal requirements please see https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/hazel-dormice-survey-or-research-licence-level-1.
