Dormouse Core 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. Data collation completed by PTES under data exchange agreement with PTES. 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. This dataset is a collation of individual records of dormouse sightings and/or evidence for Wales mostly between 1988 and 2014, although there are a few earlier records. Records originate from a variety of sources, with the collation held and maintained by People's Trust for Endangered Species (PTES). It is an incomplete directory of sites due to the ad-hoc nature of data collection. Some sites are regularly monitored using nestboxes as part of the National Dormouse Monitoring Programme (NDMP) and these sites are indicated in the attributes and more detailed biometric data are held by PTES who administer the monitoring programme. 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.

The record type along with the reliability of the data (good, fair or poor) are detailed in the RecordType and RecordTypeReliability attributes. The majority of data are from either Great Nut Hunts. Additional ad-hoc records are collected by PTES via the online recording form at http://surveydata.ptes.org/dormousemonitoring but these are only included in the NDD if they can be verified by a photograph, nut or detailed description by an experienced monitor.
