flag A £9,475 grant will help UK volunteers protect red squirrels by using thermal imaging and feeders to fight invasive greys.

flag The Keswick Red Squirrel Group has received a £9,475 grant to help protect endangered red squirrels in the Lake District. flag The funds will buy thermal imaging devices and ten large metal feeders to improve detection and control of invasive grey squirrels, which outcompete reds and spread a deadly virus. flag The tools will help volunteers work more efficiently in dense woodlands and reduce disease risk. flag Cumbria remains one of the last strongholds for red squirrels in England, and the group’s 25 volunteers manage a 12,400-hectare area. flag Without ongoing efforts, red squirrels could disappear from northern England.
