Local Network and Volunteer Group Directory

Landscape-scale community action is the key to the long-term survival of Scotland’s red squirrels.

The project is supporting red squirrel networks across our priority areas. The networks are led by enthusiastic and dedicated volunteers, all working together to protect their local red squirrel populations. Local networks across South Scotland are also supporting each other under the banner of the Red Squirrel Forum for South Scotland.
