‘’Introducing the Red Squirrel Project” by Sarah Purdon.
Sarah is the Mid Wales Squirrel Officer for the Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales.
The most common squirrel we often see is the grey squirrel. They are native to North America and were introduced to the UK in the late 1800’s and they have been very successful in expanding across the country. But the red squirrel is our native squirrel. Sarah will be introducing us to the red squirrel project in Mid Wales where they are seen in some of the woodlands north of Lampeter. So they are not too far away from Denmark Farm!
We will also find out more about these squirrels with the tufty ears and how they interact with the introduced grey squirrel. You can also find out more about how to get involved with the project locally.
This is a 1 hour talk with an opportunity at the end for Questions and Answers.
