The Lake District Foundation is raising £20,000 to help save Red Squirrels in the North of the UK. We need YOUR help. Please give generously as these little guys are under threat like never before. The non-native grey squirrel has spread across the UK devastating our red squirrels. Greys carry a disease, squirrelpox virus, which is lethal to reds. They are a bigger animal, and outcompete reds for food and other resources. However, as we are proving, in areas where reds and greys are kept apart, red squirrels can thrive. The problem is meeting the funding needs to sustain this effort. Supporting us allows the dedicated teams to carry on their amazing work. £15 will buy a squirrel-only feeder to provide supplementary food to reds £20 will buy a feeder cleaning equipment to help prevent the spread of squirrel pox virus, a disease carried by grey squirrels and fatal to reds £30 will buy a 30kg bag of food
