Nature for Health volunteers help dormice

Volunteers have helped build 20 dormouse nest boxes in Prestatyn.

Around 15 Nature for Health volunteers helped Denbighshire County Council’s Countryside Service put together the boxes.

Dormice are an endangered species and the loss of hedgerows and a change in the management of woodlands has led to a dramatic decline in their numbers, 72 per cent between 1993 and 2014.

Liam Winning, Assistant Countryside Ranger, said: “By creating these nest boxes we hope to support an increase in numbers over the next few years. The boxes were made using locally sourced, non tanalised timber and will be installed and monitored on a site which is important for dormice in Denbighshire.”

Nature for Health is part of the Council’s work to protect and enhance the environment under its Corporate Plan and aims to improve people’s lives through health and wellbeing activities, helping individuals and communities in Denbighshire connect with the countryside and adopt healthy habits.

Denbighshire Countryside Service is working in partnership with Denbighshire Housing to deliver the project with support from Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board and Bangor University.

If you would like to get involved with Nature for Health in Rhyl or Prestatyn contact Claudia Smith on 01824 708313 or email Claudia.smith@denbighshire.gov.uk

We have several exciting events for recorders coming up over the next few weeks (see attachment).
Recorders Days - Diwrnod Cofnodwyr are aimed at those wishing to undertake their own species recording at an interesting venue. A great opportunity to meet other recorders, visit fantastic sites and pick up ID tips informally. Free, but please book so we know you're coming.

BioBlitzes are more public facing events, where specialists can share their species knowledge with the public (possibly by leading a guided walk). Or if they prefer, go off and undertake their own recording at the site to help build a comprehensive species list for a site. Free, no need to book.
Identification Courses - Cwrs Adnabod are open to anybody wishing to learn new skills. A nominal booking fee is charged to help cover venue booking and tutor travel expenses. Booking will be opened nearer the time.
Cylchlythyr Cofnod Newsletter
We are working on producing the first Cofnod Newsletter.

The Cofnod Newsletter will come out twice a year (May & September) and is a place where recorders and wildlife enthusiasts can publish the following:

● Highlight species or species groups that others could help record. This might be used to assist with documenting the spread of species new to North Wales (like the Ivy bee), or helping to fill in recording gaps across North Wales.

● Publicise locally-based recording groups and their events.

● Reporting interesting species discoveries, perhaps as a yearly round-up of exciting/significant records.

● Fieldtrip, site reports or identification courses, detailing an event you attended or organised.

● Equipment reviews. Share your first-hand experience with others about recording equipment, techniques, gadgets or even outdoor clothing. 

● Any other subject matter that may be of relevance to Biological Recording in North Wales.

● Cofnod will also include articles relating to developments within our LERC.
If you would like to provide any content for the Newsletter (in Welsh or English) please contact me. A "guidance to authors" document is available on request.
Best wishes,
Richard

If you are driving from Eryrys towards Nercwys and Mold in the next few weeks please keep a look out for toads on the road – from the first bend a couple of hundred yards after the Sun Inn, as far as the top of the hill down to Pant Du.

It is hard to predict when they will be there, but mild damp evenings seem to be favourite.

We try to operate a ‘toad patrol’ to save as many as we can, but they are very persistent and we can’t always be around.

If you would like to help feel free to contacts us on  :   boyettmp@boyns.cymru
