FAQ: Can habitat management help red squirrels survive in Scotland for the future?
Habitat improvement is one of the project aims for SSRS. Habitat management can help red squirrels thrive and increase in number, however trees take time to grow and it can take decades to reap the benefits of changes to the habitat. It is an important part of a long-term strategy but this type of action is not enough in the short-term to protect the red squirrel and ensure its survival.
