Description

General description

Red squirrels have significantly declined in the UK over the last 50 years, largely due to the introduction of the North American grey squirrel. To support the remaining red squirrel populations, providing a nest box can offer a warm, dry space for raising their young. These boxes provide a safer nesting option compared to natural dreys, which can be vulnerable to heavy rain, high winds, and the weight of adults and young. Additionally, they serve as a dry refuge during winter.
