Sian Hughes and Sarah Jane Richards ran a workshop for people in the Cragside area to create feeding boxes for Pine Martens.
Pine Marten
Elusive members of the weasel family, they are half a metre long, weighing about the same as a rabbit. Pine Martens live in woods. They are agile climbers, and raise their families in tree holes. Resourceful and inquisitive, they eat many things, including small mammals, berries and birds. Once very common, their numbers were devastated by clearance of woodland and control by gamekeepers and landowners.
