Among Sefton’s most beloved residents are its beautiful red squirrel population, found mainly in Formby.

Their role in Sefton should not be taken for granted and special care is taken to sustain their numbers.

An important part of this is observing and recording both red and grey squirrel numbers. Lancashire Wildlife Trust is hosting a squirrel monitoring workshop at Coronation Park in Crosby, tomorrow (January 19), 10.30am – 12.30pm for those who want to volunteer for this important role.
