🌿After all the build-up, it’s completely normal to feel a bit unsure about what comes next. If you’re looking for something positive, flexible, and genuinely interesting to be part of, the Young Rewilders Forum could be just the thing.
You don’t need loads of experience — just a curiosity about nature and a willingness to get involved. From meeting experts to visiting rewilding projects and sharing ideas, it’s a chance to learn by doing and meet people on a similar path.
No pressure, no expectations — just an opportunity to be part of something hopeful.
5 signs your neighbour might actually be a red squirrel – Week 5 #5 No fussy, fancy frosted tips…
You might have noticed your “neighbour” has a very particular sense of style.
While grey squirrels sport tails with pale, frosted edges (a bit like they’ve been to the hairdresser for highlights), red squirrels keep things classic — no halo, no highlights, just one beautifully rich colour from base to tip. It might not always be your classic russet colour either. Check out the dark tail on this wee guy - the give away is the solid colour with no halo!
So if you spot a tail that’s all one glorious shade, with none of those fussy, fancy frosted tips… you could be living next door to one of our iconic reds.
