Posted by The Journal on Sep 17, 09 10:30 AM in What's On

There will be a nut hunt this autumn when Northumberland Wildlife Trust supports the People's Trust for Endangered Species (PTES) in its appeal to members of the public to help save endangered hazel dormice.

As part of the big hunt, volunteers from Northumberland Wildlife Trust, National Trust staff and volunteers will meet on Sunday, October 11 at 10am for a survey of known dormouse locations in Allendale. See www.greatnuthunt.co.uk.

To secure places for the other events, contact Laura Lowther at Northumberland Wildlife Trust on (0191) 284 6884.

We'd like to hear from you.

I live at Middlecroft Henshaw. We have a small paddock that streches down to the A69 and has an access by way of a lonning. On one side of the lonning there is quite a lot of Hazel trees,I have noticed over the last 20yrs must of the nuts that fall to the ground have a small hole chewed in them I presume this is the work of the Dormouse.
If i can help with the survay in any way please let me know.
