About This Event

Nut Hunting for dormice signs will take place on 29 October 2026 at Roath Park Wild Gardens in Cardiff. This workshop will focus on identifying signs of dormice presence in the area. The event is free to attend, providing an educational opportunity for participants.

Signs of dormice: how to establish presence, and ID some of the signs left behind!

Join us for a woodland walk to search for hazelnuts and the signs that indicate what might be eating them!

🐭 We will take you through how to identify hazel trees and hazelnuts, and the signs of dormice and other small mammal activity,

🐭 Dormice are one of our rarest small mammals and very hard to find in the wild. Luckily, dormice leave tell-tale signs when they eat hazelnuts – one of their favourite foods!

🐭 By searching for these nut shells it is possible to find out where dormice live in order to protect them in the future. There is the opportunity to take and use these skills in other locations after the sessions, including on our footprint monitoring schemes,

🐭 This is an outdoor event so please wear suitable shoes and clothing.

All ages and abilities welcome but please let us know if you need any particular support.

If you are no longer able to make the event, please remember to cancel your ticket to enable others to attend.

We will meet at Roath Wild Gardens, the north end of the lake.

Ymunwch â ni am daith gerdded yn y coetir i chwilio am gnau cyll a'r arwyddion sy'n dangos beth allai fod yn eu bwyta!

🐭 Byddwn yn eich tywys trwy’r ffordd i adnabod coed cyll a chnau cyll, ac arwyddion gweithgaredd pathewod a mamaliaid bach eraill,

🐭 Pathewod yw un o'n mamaliaid bach prinnaf ac maen anodd iawn dod o hyd iddyn nhw yn y gwyllt. Yn ffodus, mae pathewod yn gadael arwyddion amlwg pan fyddant yn bwyta cnau cyll – un o'u hoff fwydydd!

🐭 Trwy chwilio am gregyn y cnau hyn, mae'n bosibl darganfod ble mae pathewod yn byw er mwyn eu hamddiffyn yn y dyfodol. Mae cyfle i gymryd a defnyddio'r sgiliau hyn mewn lleoliadau eraill ar ôl y sesiynau, gan gynnwys ein cynlluniau monitro olion traed.

🐭 Mae hwn yn ddigwyddiad awyr agored, felly gwisgwch esgidiau a dillad addas.

Mae croeso i bob oedran a gallu ond rhowch wybod i ni os oes angen unrhyw gymorth penodol arnoch.

Os nad ydych chi'n gallu dod i’r digwyddiad mwyach, cofiwch ganslo'ch tocyn i alluogi eraill i ddod.

Byddwn yn cwrdd yng Ngerddi Gwyllt y Rhath, pen gogleddol y llyn.
