Saving Scotland’s Red Squirrels are looking for local volunteers to assist with grey squirrel dispatch within the ‘Highland Line’ – specifically in Crieff, Comrie and Dunkeld.
We are working hard to deliver red squirrel conservation within the ‘Highland Line’ in Tayside. We aim to prevent the invasive non-native grey squirrel from replacing red squirrels north of the ‘Highland Line’. Grey squirrel control is delivered by a combination of project staff, landowners funded via the Forestry Grant Scheme, and volunteers. We are looking for local volunteers to take on the role of ‘on-call dispatcher’, providing vital support to trapping volunteers, as and when required.
For further information on the ‘Highland Line’, the role description and the person spec. please see: https://scottishwildlifetrust.org.uk/volunteering/savingscotlands-red-squirrels-grey-squirrel-dispatcher/
Training will be provided.
