Welcome
to the website of the
Westmorland Red Squirrel Society. We are
a group of local volunteers who share an interest in the conservation
of our native red squirrels in the South Cumbria area.
We
aim to raise awareness about the threats to the red squirrels
survival and to work with our members, the local community and other
groups towards eliminating those threats wherever possible, so ensuring
that the sight of our charming red squirrels can be enjoyed by future
generations of Cumbrians and visitors alike.

Report
your sightings
Whether
you are out walking, or if you see red or grey squirrels in your
garden, we are very interested to hear about it. We rely on your
information to help us monitor our squirrel populations.
You can report
your sightings using the online
sightings form on our Sightings page, or you can telephone on
01539 822089.
All red sightings
reported will be shown on our WRSS 2010 Red
Sightings Map opposite, along with the grid reference and
date of last sighting for that location. No personal details of
those reporting the sightings will be shown.
It is recommended
to view the larger map and then return to our site using your browser
back button.
We really appreciate
your help by reporting your sightings - thank you!
