Extremely elusive and increasingly rare, the hazel dormouse is unlike other rodents, being long-lived and highly specialised in its ability to hibernate. The hazel dormouse is shy, secretive and nocturnal, so you are not very likely to see a dormouse, but quite a lot is now known about this elusive animal. Find out more about our dormice in Hampshire.
We are committed to managing and monitoring dormice in Hampshire. We are finding out about the distribution of dormice across the county by dormouse monitoring as part of the National Dormouse Monitoring Programme. We promote dormouse friendly site and landscape management and support landowners with habitat management. We seek opportunities for education and training, and promote the highest environmental and ethical standards.
