Description

To undertake a census of water vole across the North York Moors National Park in 2023, supported by National Park trained survey volunteers. The project will involve assessing the suitability of surveyed sites for small pearl-bordered fritillary and water vole, and undertaking water vole surveys. It will also require DNA analysis of existing water vole population to determine relatedness, as well as analysing existing mink records and engaging with local communities to produce a viable mink population control plan. A project report summarising the findings of the surveys and setting out a detailed strategy to recover and improve resilience of populations of water vole and small pearl-bordered fritillary in the North York Moors National Park will also be produced. Data on the distribution of small pearl-bordered fritillary in the National Park will be provided.
