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.
