The water vole is the UK’s most rapidly declining mammal and has been lost from 94% of places where they were once prevalent.
Although cancelled this year due to COVID-19, you can help Water Voles by taking part in the National Water Vole Monitoring Programme that runs from 5 April until 15 June every year. So why not brush up on your ID skills and do your part in 2021, by helping conservationists understand how UK Water Vole populations are doing ► bit.ly/3hB9m2e
