Our red squirrel maps show where red squirrels are being seen, and are only made possible by you reporting your red squirrel sightings to us. You can report your sightings here>>
This year’s map has a marker added to it each time we hear where a red squirrel has been spotted. Our annual red sightings maps go back as far as 2010, and you can see multiple years displayed on one of three maps – see below.
Please note that from 2022 onwards these maps no longer display the red sightings recorded within the WRS area by Red Squirrels Northern England, either their public sightings or those recorded by their rangers.
