National Polecat Survey

 

Polecat wiki

We are in the midst of the polecat mating season continues until early April. During this time, there is a peak in polecat road casualties, as male polecats are moving around and crossing roads to find females, so this is a good time of year to keep your eyes peeled for polecats on the road.

We are appealing for hair and whisker samples from deceased polecats for research purposes. If you want to collect samples, email us at enquiries@vwt.org.uk for more information.
