The miniature, location and message.
This stone is dedicated to the story of the Hazel dormouse:
“The hazel dormouse (Muscardinus avellanarius) is part of a series travelling miniature stones depicting endangered or vulnerable animals in Europe. I want to bring attention to these special animals through this art project.
Spread the word and move the stone!The hazel dormouse is crazy about hazelnuts. (of course) Hazel dormice build multiple nests per season to sleep in during the day. He also builds nests for reproduction and for hibernation. A nest is a compact woven ball of approx. 15 cm in diameter. The hazel mouse fixes its nest between 0.5 and 2 meters above the ground, sometimes higher. Sometimes an existing nest from another animal species serves as basis or they use natural cavities in trees or nest boxes.
The hazel dormouse is endangered in The Netherlands and critically endangered in Belgium and occurs regularly in France and Spain. Via this stone I want to give this beautiful mammal extra attention.”
This stone started travelling on 2019-06-14.
Besides the travelling stones, there are also “resting stones” with stories, placed on the trail. Together all these stones form the international art routes.

This art project wants to pleasantly surprise hikers through miniature art. A second goal is to initiate a new form of communication and awareness,through art and social media. The participant and I are looking forward for your story or response on this stone! (possibly with photo)
The next art project, with a route of resting and traveling stones, starts in 2019 of 2020.
