Red Squirrels
New Red Squirrels Reserve
Cumbria is now the proud home of an innovative project to help protect the red squirrel from extinction. Whinlatter Forest near Keswick now has a red squirrel reserve which is now open to the public. Visiors can walk along a trail through the Red Squirrel Reserve and learn about the animals with displays indoors.
The forestry commission has a webcam during the Autum showing images of the Red Squirrels nest. Images from the webcam can be seen at the Whinlatter visitors centre.
