Red Squirrel

We're delighted to announce the launch of the Red Squirrels of the Highlands website.

This Forestry Commission (Scotland) project enables volunteer surveyors, and members of the public, to capture and record sightings to the website, and plot them on an Ordnance survey map.

The map is building over time to plot every recorded sighting (since 2007) in even the remotest areas of the Highlands. It's the pefect way to record the red squirrel activty and help protect the nationally endangered population.

We have really enjoyed working on this particular project - so much so, that we've bought our own Red and Grey Squirrel costumes - so watch this space!
