To undertake a census of water vole and small pearl-bordered fritillary 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, identifying where actions could be undertaken to improve and connect habitats to support either or both species, undertaking DNA analysis of existing water vole population to determine relatedness, analysing existing mink records and engaging with local communities to produce a viable mink population control plan and producing a report and associated maps summarising the findings of the survey 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.
