This June, we successfully released 38 healthy captive-bred hazel dormouse into a woodland on the Calke Abbey estate in Derbyshire. We reintroduced this new population of dormice in collaboration with Wildwood Trust, London Zoo ZSL and Paignton Zoo.

At our final box check of the season, we found that the newly released dormice in Calke Abbey have fully settled into their new home. Our volunteers recorded five dormice, three of the dormice originally reintroduced, and two juveniles, which shows that they continue to breed. Good news!
