Red squirrels are an endangered species and
this is one of their last
English strongholds.
The main reason
for their decline is the spread of the introduced American Grey
Squirrel.
Garsdale is part of the "Greenfields Stronghold". A new website for GarsdaleRedSquirrels is being prepared.
It
is important that the local volunteers gather all information on
squirrel distribution.
or e-mail: to add your sighting to this page.
For more
information go to our website, but it is currently unavailable. It will be back soon.
