Castle Douglas & District Red Squirrel Group
Visit Website
The Castle Douglas & District Red Squirrel Group are a network of active volunteers who monitor, raise public awareness, engage with local communities and landowners and undertake grey squirrel control.
The area covers the communities of Castle Douglas, Parton, Springholm, Crocketford, Kirkpatrick Durham, Gelston and everywhere in between! Red squirrels are still thriving in our area but they are coming under increasing threat from the grey squirrel. We are looking for volunteers from all over the district to join our Group, get involved in active conservation and help to ensure the future of Scotland’s iconic red squirrels.
