Wildlife Conservation in the Yorkshire Dales - Red squirrels

This is a short film about the work being done by the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority with local landowner, Hugh Kemp, to protect red squirrels at Snaizeholme near Wensleydale. As well as looking after existing and creating new habitats in the Widdale Red Squirrel Reserve, a trail from Hawes has been created along with a viewing area for the public. For more details, see http://www.yorkshiredales.org.uk/snaizeholmeredsquirreltrail.htm.

The film has been made by Joe Tuck as part of his final project for a masters degree in Biological Photography and Imaging. More details of Joe's work can be found on his website, http://www.joetuck.com. Be sure to see his other films about nature conservation in the Yorkshire Dales on peregrine falcons, white-clawed crayfish and bats.

what a brilliant video well done to everybody involved in trying to save our Red Squirrels i really hope they can stay with us permantly i went to Aysgarth Falls last summer i knew Red Squirrels were in the Yorkshire Dales but i didnt know where they were i didnt see one but sadly i saw a Grey 1 in the car park and its not that far from snaizeholme i just hope Grey Squirrels can be removed ONLY in areas where they can come in contact with the Red Squirrels.

its fantastic to see Red Squirrels in the yorkshire dales i went to Aysgarth falls last summer which isnt far from Snaizeholme i was hoping i could see a Red Squirrel but sadly i saw a Grey Squirrel which are all over England now i think they should be culled in areas where Red Squirrels live so they stand a chance to stay with us forever! well done to Hugh Kemp with the fantastic amount of work he has done for Red Squirrels god bess you and everybody who is helping to save the Red Squirrel :)
