Abstract
Red squirrels are a Protected Species (Schedule 5, Wildlife & Countryside Act, 1981) and are classified as Endangered in Wales. They are now restricted to a small number of isolated populations, predominately in mid and north Wales where they occur in both coniferous and broadleaved woodland as well as mixed forests, parks and gardens. Within these areas the population is stable due to local reinforcement programmes and management prescriptions to control the non-native grey squirrel, the primary cause of the decline in red squirrel in the UK. Woodland creation schemes in areas identified as important for red squirrel should take into account measures which maintain the habitat in favour of red squirrels. Further information is available in GN002.
