To mark National Squirrel Week BSCG is delighted to
be able to welcome Dr Mel Tonkin to our district that BSCG is aware is one of
great importance to the conservation of red squirrels in Scotland and the UK.
Mel will be looking at some of our district's priority priority woodlands for
red squirrels. She is to give an illustrated talk on the Conservation of Red
Squirrels that will be open to all members of the public. This will be at 7.30pm
at Carr-bridge Village Hall. Mel has recently taken up a three year contract as
Scottish Squirrel Survey Co-ordinator. Her post involves providing support and
information to progress implementation of the red squirrel Biodiversity Action
Plan to which the Scottish Strategy for Red Squirrel Conservation contributes.
She has undertaken voluntary work on red squirrels for a number of years for the
Scottish Wildlife Trust.
