This talk will look at the current squirrel population of the UK from the ancient, native red squirrel to the relatively recent introductions of the American grey squirrel.

We will look at the changing ranges of these two species over time. We will look at what has been done so far, and what could be done in the future to protect the red squirrel. We will also look at the genetics of squirrel colouration, looking at the fascinating origin of the black genetic variant of the grey squirrel.
