Red Squirrel conservation project

Now the season has ended, Glennoo game sports along with our normal work of getting ready for the up coming season, can increase our conservation efforts. One of our projects is to increase the red squirrel population. As part of a joint management programme with Forest Service and the Blackwater Catchment River Trust, we are going to create a “Red Squirrel corridor” through and around the Conifer blocks to aid free passage from one block to another. This will be done by strategic planting of “squirrel friendly” trees and coppicing of existing brush.
