Joining forces to protect squirrels
We've joined forces with Penrith and District Red Squirrel Group to help make the area their ideal home, placing feeders beside the footpaths to the falls.
A safe haven
Red squirrels are in danger of extinction in England, but this exciting project not only provides an opportunity for you to see them in the wild but also provides a safe haven for our little furry friends and hugely increases the public awareness of their plight.
Kids (young and old) can tackle Cyril’s red squirrel ramble around Aira Force. Find the squirrels, answer the questions and unlock the password to become a squirrel detective… Just like Cyril! Proceeds from the red squirrel ramble go towards our conservation of red squirrels.
If you are interested in supporting this vital work to keep the red squirrels of Grasmere safe you can help by donating online through our Lakes Red Squirrel Appeal page.
