red squirrels?

[undisputed 1,664]

There's plenty around Dumfires & Galloway and the Cairngorms.....heard on the radio the other day that numbers are on the increase....only bloody greys down my way

Im trapping greys up in Northumberland, but its hard to keep up with the numbers. Still plenty reds here at present, so were keeping them at bay for now. More funding is coming through in the spring, with more trappers enroled. If anyone has woodland within the red squirrel reserve areas then funding could be available to cull the greys. The more help with this the better, as it only takes a few neglected patches to allow the greys entry into the red squirrel zones. You could drop me a PM for help and info if your unsure about getting started.

Been informed by RSNE there is no money available? They have dropped off a few traps but that is all.

Whereabouts are you trapping in Northumberland, do you get subsidised to do it.

Depends on circumstances,,, Do you trap within the buffer zones? If so PM me and I'll sort out some help for you.

we cull all the greys we see , and have over 50 traps set at any one time , we have a good population of reds in cumbria and hopefully we can keep it that way !!!!

where i live there was a organisation that saved the squirrels in different ways, if we go the woods theres loads but they put knotted rope above the rode so the squirrels could scurry across and not die, if you go in the woods your always bound to see one!
