Red Squirrels of the Highlands

We need your help!

The Scottish Highlands is the last real stronghold of the red squirrel in the UK.  To date, we are grey squirrel free, which is fantastic news for our native and iconic red squirrel.

We would like you to use this website to record sightings of squirrels within Highland, to become a volunteer surveyor, to join our discussion forum or just to brows the site out of interest

Vew or download our new red squirrel leaflet (2010).

SECRET FILMING...! Have a look at our new blog to view four short films of animal action at a secret location in the Highlands.  The videos were shot in July 2010 and show animal antics day and night. More to come soon!
