Please help us raise £22,000 to ensure a better future for red squirrels.
There are places in the north-west Highlands of Scotland where pine forests exist that no longer have any red squirrels. These forests would be perfect habitat for the reds but they cannot colonise them without our help. Your donation would help re-introduce red squirrels to the empty forests that they cannot reach on their own.
Please make a donation to enable:
- Red squirrels to be introduced to up to 8 new forests.
- New populations of red squirrels to grow and thrive in forest sanctuaries safe from grey squirrels.
- The natural expansion of forests, which squirrels help to propagate by burying nuts and seeds.
- More people seeing and enjoying red squirrels, one of our best-loved and most treasured wild animals.
We know that we can rescue the reds. For the last three years, Trees for Life has been carefully capturing red squirrels from their strongholds and transporting them to new forest. It has been hugely successful with 132 red squirrels released in 6 locations so far. They have been seen exploring their new woodland homes and successfully breeding. Communities now have the joy of seeing red squirrels in their local forests and gardens.
Thank you so much for your support!
Any surplus funds raised by this appeal will be used by Trees for Life to fund other activities which help restore the wild forest habitat.??
