We have teamed up with a local expert, Simon O'Hare from the Cumbria Wildlife Trust and Red Squirrels North East to deliver two 3 hour workshops covering:

• How to look after local red squirrels, including how to encourage them, how to feed them and keep them healthy, how to monitor them and what to do if their arch enemy (the grey squirrel) turns up!

• Take a look at some of the methods used to conserve reds, and the technology that enables projects to monitor for squirrels.

• Practical session looking at survey techniques using trail cameras and other methods

• Learn how your business can benefit from association with this charismatic and emblematic species!

• Learn about the ecological and cultural importance of reds in Cumbria

• Includes an update from Red Squirrels Northern England project on the outlook for reds across the north, and also updates from local volunteers who are working hard to protect local reds.
