Dormouse Outer Areas

This is a spatial dataset held by Natural Resources Wales (NRW) which holds records from the former Countryside Council for Wales (CCW) dormouse data sourced from areas of work, such as licence returns and dormouse survey work and also The Vincent Wildlife Trust (VWT) dormouse survey data. This dataset is a collation of dormouse records for Wales from the People's Trust for Endangered Species (PTES) National Dormouse Database, with a spatial resolution of a 2 km buffer zone. Map has been used as basis for Glastir Targeted Element - core (or mandatory) sites. Majority of records collected by experienced surveyors, or verified by experienced surveyors (e.g. nut hunt records). Licence returns have not been independently verified. Natural Resources Wales (NRW) holds a copy of the GIS dataset on their internal GIS data store - however, requestors are advised to obtain the most up-to-date version of the data from PTES. This dataset is also held under the National Dormouse Database (NDD) available to download from the NBN Gateway.
