Carrbridge Red Squirrel Events, Village Hall & Glencharnoch Wood

(Note: not BSCG event)

5pm & 6.30pm Thursday 22nd May 2008

RED SQUIRREL TALK VILLAGE HALL 5 – 6.30pm

At the village hall in Carrbridge. Refreshments will be available. Just turn up!

The Red Squirrel Conservation Officer for the Highlands, Juliet Robinson will talk about red squirrel conservation, survey techniques particularly in relation to Lochaber. There will also be a short film and there will be a questions/answer session at the end. Eleanor Garty, Woodland Trust officer, will talk about ancient woodlands in the Highlands.

RED SQUIRREL WALK GLENCHARNOCH WOOD 6.30 – 8pm

At Glencharnoch wood, behind the village hall. Gather at the hall and bring walking boots/wellies, waterproof clothing and binoculars if you have
them.

Juliet and Eleanor will lead this walk, after the talk in the hall. We will discuss basic survey techniques and look for signs of squirrels – dreys (squirrel nests), stripped cones and if we are lucky, squirrels! We are hoping that the event will encourage more people in and around Carrbridge to report squirrel sightings and if they would like, to undertake surveys.

* Both events are free of charge and all are welcome! *

See event poster. Please print and put up!
