Red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) conservation plan for Anglesey & Gwynedd
Research output: Book/Report › Commissioned report
Electronic versions
This Action Plan provides detailed conservation prescriptions and guidance to secure the long term sustainability of the single red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) population distributed across Anglesey and adjacent northern Gwynedd woodland landscapes. We present aims and associated objectives in relation to grey squirrel control, epizootic infections, habitat management and squirrel population monitoring. A legislative review is included to inform local woodland managers and to assist with policy making decisions. Community and regional stakeholder involvement have been integrated into delivery of conservation outputs. The probability, likely scale of impact and measures necessary to mitigate or prevent, risks to successful red squirrel conservation are
presented. The Action Plan also highlights areas of scientific uncertainty where future detailed research would guide in situ red squirrel conservation
