You could adopt or sponsor a red squirrel, give a red squirrel soft toy, or help with conservation efforts to help red squirrels. |

| | For people who have squirrels visiting their garden, how about a Tom Chambers Squirrel Snack Box? For £14.99, the snack box is a food source for squirrels - and it so encourage them to stay away from the feeders for the birds! The squirrels lift the wooden lid and take the food from inside the feeder - the reviews make for interesting reading as people note how long it takes the squirrels to work that out! An hour, a day... how long will yours take?! This box is available from Garden Wildlife Direct, who also have a bag of Tom Chambers Squirrel Snacks Squirrel Food you can buy for £8.99 to help those red squirrels! They also have a delightful Cyril Squirrel Picnic Table (for the squirrels, not for you!) for £24.99, but it's out of stock at the moment - you could check anyway and see if it's back in store! It's made in Stoke-on-Trent by the Wildlife and Birdcare Nature Recovery Project, and the charity both helps nature and is a licensed training provider for SEN colleges to support young people with autism or extra needs. Win-win-wins all round! |
