Northern Red Squirrels
Northern Red Squirrels is an umbrella group that has been created to unite all independent voluntary groups and individuals that are working to help save our red squirrels from extinction in the North of England. It is a 'network of voluntary action' that shares news, ideas and best practice. They have attracted over thirty independent voluntary groups and individuals to join forces and the number is still rising. The site contains a wealth of information if you want to know more about red squirrels and what to do to aid their survival, as well as listing the other red squirrel groups in the North of England. http://www.northernredsquirrels.org.uk

The RSST favours the use of volunteers wherever possible to ensure strong community involvement, and also to keep administration and overhead costs to a minimum.
