Relentless and always hungry. What they lack in size, weasels make up for in appetite, eating a third of their own body weight daily. From birds to bank voles, the small creatures of the forest floor must be ever wary of this energetic hunter.

About us

Research and evidence

We use research and scientific evidence to underpin our conservation work, whether to understand the impact of climate change on woods and trees, or to support campaigns to save ancient woodland.
