Callander SWT talk, 7.30pm Thursday 11 April - Red Squirrels

Hi All.

This will be our last meeting of the 2023/24 season so it will begin with a very brief AGM (15 mins max), open to all.

The talk will be an update on

The Status of Scotland's Red Squirrels by Nicole Still, SSRS Programme Manager, SWT.

As usual we will meet at 7.30 in St Andrew's Church Hall, Leny Road, Callander, FK17 8AL.

Suggested donation on the door £3, includes tea/coffee and biscuits.

In the last week there has been alarming news that the first red squirrel north of the Central belt to have died from squirrel pox virus was found just outside of Dunfermline. 

Everyone is being asked to be vigilant, reporting all squirrels seen and taking an extra careful look for the tell-tale symptoms - more detail in the article linked in

Have a good wildlife summer and hope to see you next season from October '24 to April '25.

(Callander SWT Group Secretary)
