Glens Red Squirrel group celebrate 'Squirreltober' with a Squirrel Safari
and live on Freeview channel 276
Squirreltober events are public events for educating and sparking an interest in the native Reds.
Daniel McAfee, Chair of the Group, said: “We sadly cannot guarantee seeing Red Squirrels on our Red Squirrel Safaris as the Reds are wild and free to come and go as they wish, but we will show you where you are most likely to see Reds and show you what to look out for when in the woods and forestry.
