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 – Pine Marten Recovery in Wales
Integrated Grey Squirrel Management – Shooting
Integrated Grey Squirrel Management – Trapping
Addressing squirrelpox virus and biosecurity
People and Squirrels: attitudes, motivations and challenges
Interactive lesson learning session summary
Red squirrel captive breeding and disease management
Red Squirrel Conservation Priorities
Local Strategy Development (Notes)
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.
