Prince Charles backs return of red squirrels into Cornish
woodlands after cull of greys
"Red squirrels could soon be scampering through their native
woodlands in Cornwall - but only after the grey intruders who
forced them out are eradicated. The Prince of Wales has
launched a reintroduction project for specially selected parts of
the coutry as he visits the Royal Cornwall Show today.
Landowners on the Lizard Peninsula and in West Penwith have
already started cullling greys, which are officially classed as
vermin and must be wiped out in the area before any reds can be
brought in".
