UK Squirrel Accord (UKSA), a UK-wide partnership of 45 leading conservation and forestry organisations, Government agencies and companies, are marking Red Squirrel Awareness Week with free webinars.
Taking place from 2 October to 8 October, the aim is to raise awareness of the threats to the UK's native red squirrel population from the invasive grey squirrel.
On 4 October, UKSA have two red squirrel focused webinars with a variety of experts for you to join.
The morning session is UKSA's annual update on red squirrel conservation across the four UK countries and the afternoon looks at using different red squirrel monitoring techniques.
