Monitoring Success

One of the aims of Saving Scotland’s Red Squirrels (SSRS) is to monitor the distribution of squirrels in our project areas and the success of grey squirrel control as a method of red squirrel conservation.  This will be achieved through a programme of survey and monitoring.

We need your help to do this as effectively as possible.  With accurate information we can target our work more closely and ensure we are putting our resources in areas where red squirrels need support most.  Help save the red squirrel by volunteering to help us complete targeted surveys in key areas.

We also need to continue to record squirrel distributions right across Scotland, so you can help by keeping your eyes peeled for both red and grey squirrels and reporting your sightings to us.  This information will be recorded on the Scottish Squirrel Database.  Contact your local SSRS project officer today.
