Save the Red Squirrel. Protect Our Woodlands.

The Red Squirrel Survival Trust (RSST) is working to restore red squirrel populations and safeguard Britain’s native woodlands.

The Threat

Grey squirrels, introduced from North America, are destroying broadleaf trees, through intensive bark stripping and driving red squirrels toward extinction. Greys monopolise food supplies and spread disease.

The Solution

RSST is developing a benign contraceptive vaccine to naturally reduce invasive grey squirrel numbers—allowing red squirrels and healthy woodlands to thrive again.

Why It Matters

Without action, future generations may never see mature broadleaf forests or benefit from the biodiversity and carbon sequestration they support.

You Can Help

  • Donate to protect red squirrels and their natural habitat, our broadleaf woodlands.
  • Leave a legacy that makes a lasting impact to wildlife and our planet.
