Ever heard the squeak of a shrew or the rustle of a mouse in the undergrowth but never got a chance to see them? Well now is your chance to meet some small mammals at a new wild place, Fort Burgoyne! Nestled beside Dover Castle and the White Cliffs of Dover, and overlooking Britain's busiest ferry port, Fort Burgoyne (Fort Burgoyne Rd, Guston, Dover, CT15 5FN) is a unique piece of Dover’s history that has now largely been taken over by wildlife!
Join us to survey for small mammals at Fort Burgoyne using Longworth traps and survey bags allowing you the chance to get to see these cute creatures up close. We’ll also keep our eyes peeled for other signs of mammals on site.
