Launched in 2001 by wildlife rehabilitator Christy Hargrove, it is a day to acknowledge the role that the iconic animals play in nature and the environment.
On Friday 21st January at 11:00am, Heinz Traut RSNE Project Manager will host an online talk about the work being carried out to protect the charismatic and loveable animal including how his team members and army of volunteers are using technology to help them efficiently record and understand the information gathered. This, in turn, will highlight the progress made and help with the creation of future conservation plans.
The event is free but places do need to be booked by visiting: https://www.nwt.org.uk/events/2022-01-21-making-sense-red-squirrel-sightings-and-grey-management-information
In addition, any red squirrel supporter joining RSNE’s Friends of the Red Squirrel membership scheme between Friday 21st and Monday 24th January will receive a free copy of a red squirrel storybook in their membership pack.
Written by Fiona Lunn, founder of Lunn Learning, the book, aptly title: The Squirrel is about a red squirrel called Red, his friends Whiskers and Her Ladyship and their life in the pine forest - a great way to banish the January blues. For more information visit: www.rsne.org.uk
