Wildwood Trust, working in collaboration with the Kent Mammal Group, has completed Kent Harvest Mouse Survey. This was an exciting Citizen Science Project funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund. 

Steve Kirk, who led the project, has published the full report of this project.  It can be found by following this link: https:/kent.wildwoodtrust.org/hideout-app/app-uploads/sites/2/2022/08/Final-report-with-discussion-and-future-indexed.pdf

The project provides an up-to-date survey of Harvest Mouse distribution within Kent and helps to understand their true conservation status. The project involved the training of Kent Mammal Group members and other volunteers to provide the background and field skills necessary to go out and survey their local areas for Harvest Mice.
