RED SQUIRREL REVIVAL
In the UK, the popularity of the red squirrel has risen at the same time as its population has plummeted. Red squirrels struggle to compete with grey squirrels, especially in mixed woodland, and they are also susceptible to a deadly squirrel pox which is carried by the greys.

In 2013, in partnership with the Roy Dennis Wildlife Foundation, 36 red squirrels were released at Alladale and our nieghbours at Amat, Croick and Glencalvie. Since then the squirrels have expanded their range far and wide and can also be seen playing around Alladale Lodge.
