A Roadmap back to Red Squirrels

Tuesday September 3rd -Porlock Village Hall.  Doors open at 7pm for a 7.30pm start

Jackie Foott of British Red Squirrel is giving a talk on whether Red Squirrels may one day be able to return to the South-West.

Red Squirrels still existed in Exmoor within living memory, but are now sadly under threat in the UK – largely due to the introduction of the invasive Grey Squirrel, from North America.

Following many years of experience of Red Squirrel conservation and Grey Squirrel management, Jackie will discuss the ecology of Reds and Greys, as well as the impact the presence of Grey Squirrels has on our native Reds.  Can Red Squirrels still be saved, and could they be returned to favourable conservation status within the UK?

Also find out how you can get involved with the Exmoor Squirrel Project in the local area.
