Grey Squirrel Impact and Assessment in Woodlands

Guest Speaker: Ed Hiorns, Lead on Woodland Management, The National Forest

Grey squirrels are estimated to cause around £37 million worth of damage to trees in England and Wales each year. Understanding their activity and impact is essential for protecting the health and resilience of our woodlands.

In this webinar, Ed Hiorns will introduce the Grey Squirrel Impact Monitoring method developed by The National Forest. This simple and flexible approach enables volunteers, land managers, and woodland owners to collect robust and comparable data on grey squirrel damage, regardless of previous experience.

Join us to learn how you can take part in this practical monitoring effort and contribute valuable information to help manage one of the key challenges facing our trees.
