Save our Squirrels
Welcome to the new Save our Squirrels website - we hope to make this site the main focus of information and advice for all things relating to red squirrels in England.
If you click on the links at the side of the page, you can find information and downloads about our practical conservation work, working with landowners and managers in improving habitat for red squirrels in the North of England - and some advice for you if you have red squirrels in your garden and want to keep them! 
We also have a whole section dedicated to learning, outlining the work that we do with the general public, with schools, and with other organisations about red squirrels. Go to Red Squirrel Information, and choose the section that suits you best, or click for a direct learning link to find new downloads linked to Key Stages.

If you want to help us save the red squirrel in England, please click on "Helping Us"; and if you've seen a red squirrel recently (or a grey squirrel if you live in Cumbria, Merseyside, North Yorkshire or Northumberland), please report it to us by clicking on the "Squirrel Sightings" section. Your sightings are vitally important to us in tracking the population of wild red squirrels remaining in England!
