Help Us Track Red and Grey Squirrels

Sightings are crucial for monitoring squirrel populations and identifying areas of concern.
Your report helps us take action to protect native reds in the Keswick area.

Using the buttons below, please report red or grey squirrels seen within the Keswick Red Squirrels group’s area boundary (see map below).

Our Monitoring Area

We cover Keswick and the surrounding area, as shown on the map. If your sighting is close to our boundary and you’re unsure whether it falls within our area, please still report it to us.

Occasionally, red and grey squirrels are seen together, needing swift action. In this case, we would be very grateful indeed if you could report each species (red and grey)  on their separate forms. This ensures the information reaches the right people quickly. 

For sightings outside our boundary, please contact the red squirrel group covering that location. The Northern Red Squirrels website has a very useful map showing all groups in Cumbria. Find your local red squirrel group.
