Dormouse Nest Boxes

Dormouse nest boxes are specially designed to support the endangered hazel dormouse, a protected species found in parts of the UK. Unlike standard bird boxes, they feature entrances at the back to keep predators out while providing a safe place for dormice to rest, breed and hibernate. These boxes can be fitted to trees in woodlands, hedgerows and conservation areas, helping to encourage the recovery of the dormouse species.
