2018 Knowledge Fair

Thanks to everyone who came to the Red Squirrels United Knowledge Fair in Bangor on Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 March. It was a really positive and inspiring event. Here was our agenda for the event:

Red Squirrel Conservation: UK Overview

Red Squirrels United Programme Overview

Integrated Grey Squirrel Management

Addressing Squirrel Pox Virus and Biosecurity

Early Warning System

Measuring Success

People and Squirrels: attitudes, motivations and challenges

Red Squirrels Conservation in Wales

Why Nothing Matters: How red squirrel captive breeding has advanced disease management in wildlife conservation

Red Squirrel Conservation Priorities

Local Strategy Development

We were also lucky enough to visit Treborth Botanic Garden which has a minimum of four red squirrels with potentially a few little ones joining them very soon! More than 100 volunteers and staff from red squirrel conservation organisations across the UK came together and shared their experiences and knowledge.
