the glens red squirrel group

The Glens Red Squirrel Group, formed in 2008, is a voluntary group made up of people interested in the protection of the environment, and particularly the Red Squirrel in the Glens of Antrim.

The Group actively work to conserve the native Red Squirrel in Northern Ireland. We have a programme of community engagement at all levels that provides opportunities for people to learn about wildlife and to carry out positive conservation work to protect, defend and promote the native Red Squirrel. We provide educational programmes for young people to heighten awareness of the plight of the Red Squirrel and to promote activities that will improve conditions for the Red Squirrel.

The aims of the Glens Red Squirrel Group are;
To protect and help maintain the population of Red Squirrels in the Glens of Antrim.
To raise public awareness of the plight of the Red Squirrel
To educate and encourage young people in conservation generally throughout the Glens of Antrim.
