How many dormice were rehoused during building of St Pancras International?

Answer 1

As dormice tend to live in a rural setting, and are getting uncommon in the UK due to urbanisation.

Not many I'd say.

Edit: Bob: surely that's for the rail link, not building/renovating the station and environs.

Answer 2

100.

To build this involved some dramatic feats: engineers slid bridges and moved 13 listed buildings. It also required more gentle gestures: 78 artificial roosts for bats, eight new amphibian ponds, a few artificial badger sets and a rehousing programme for 100 tiny hazel dormice to take them to other woodlands.

Preservation of the local ecology along the route included creating 78 new artificial roosts for bats including a bat cave, eight new ponds for amphibians, 6 new artificial badger sets and track crossing points, a new habitat for the nationally rare flower Grey Mouse-Ear, re-introduction of over 100 hazel dormice from Kent into other UK woodlands as part of a species recovery programme as well as mitigation for water vole populations. Over one million new trees and shrubs have been planted and 255ha of new woodland created on the project.

Answer 3

None. Dormice are increasingly rare and are not found in cities. Woodland and Forest is their terrain.

Answer 4

About 200 million.......
