Where are you likely to spot a red squirrel this Easter?
FRESHFEILD is 1 of the few areas in England with a permanent red squirrel population, and Easter is an ideal time to take a walk and, if you are lucky and quiet, spot our only native wild squirrel.
Vanessa Fawcett, Operations Director of the Red Squirrel Survival Trust, says it is important that young people do see them. She told us that:- "Numbers of reds in the wild are stable and when anyone, particularly children and young people see one they often wants to help support their survival. Take binoculars and look up into the tree canopy. Good luck." The place to spot red squirrels in Formby is in the sweeping pinewoods at the National Trust Freshfield Reserve. Vanessa Fawcett added that:- "If you do see a red, please do not try to get close as it will scamper away. If you take your dog, please keep it on a lead."
