Pembrokeshire: Rare hazel dormice gives conservationists hope

Decades of decline left Pengelli forest, an ancient oak woodland, and another forest near the Pentre Ifan Neolithic site, as the dormouse’s last habitat in the park.

“We were looking at linking up those known important sites… and to see if those populations were isolated,” said park conservationist Mary Chadwick.

“We have a licensed dormouse volunteer who was happy to take on another site and put out the boxes,” she said, adding that it can take years for dormice to use the boxes if the forest they live in already has good nesting spots.

“We got lucky this year.”

Dormice were found nesting in Nevern woodland, about five miles (8km) west of Pengelli forest.
