How is Sint-Truiden helping the endangered garden dormouse?
The city council is teaming up with Koen Bamps, a volunteer from Natuurpunt vzw, to help garden dormice. They have bought blank” rel=”noopener”>15 dormouse boxes near fields in Haspengouw, which are perfect for these animals because they have lots of plants and shrubs for food and hiding. This project will also start a longer study on how dormice behave, helping to protect them and gather useful information for other areas in Belgium, says Animal Welfare Alderman Mieke Claes (N-VA).
Natuurpunt will study dormice, and after that, the city will keep an eye on them and maintain their boxes. Mayor Ingrid Kempeneers said dormice are important for nature in Sint-Truiden and that it’s their job to protect this endangered species.
