Dierdre the Hazel Dormouse is quite shy. She does most of her exploring at night. However, today she has decided to visit the Science Centre. She has left us some clues about what she’s been up to with her dormice friends.
Can you help us look for signs of dormice outside? Join our orienteering adventure, follow the map, look for clues and see what you can spot along the way! Use your findings to help us build a picture of the local dormouse population.
