VWT Pine Marten Project

A ha! So we did. Good idea regarding the FC contacts- I'll see what we can do and be in touch...

Hi folks, This is a really interesting thread! I work for the Vincent Wildlife Trust as their pine marten officer, so I’m really interested in this thread and the potential it holds. As well as using and promoting den boxes as a rather short/medium-term solution to the lack of suitable cavities we’re also very much interested in developing practical techniques that can be used to speed up or promote ‘natural’ cavity formation. Den sites are probably the main limiting factor for pine martens at this stage and until we have enough natural sites we really won’t make any progress on their conservation here. So basically we’re very keen to work with woodland professionals on this issue, so perhaps we could get something practical going? ....
