Saving Scotland’s Red Squirrels – Developing Community Action (SSRS-DCA) is a project to secure the long-term future of red squirrels in Scotland by building capacity among communities of volunteers and land managers to take on some of the essential protection measures required to protect the red squirrels in key areas. As part of this programme we are now recruiting a temporary grey squirrel controller to contribute to the project’s co-ordinated landscape-scale approach by helping to reduce grey squirrel numbers in Forest Enterprise Scotland forests and preventing recolonisation of forest clear of grey squirrels in the target area of Teviotdale. We are looking for someone with a love of outdoor working who is a self-starter preferably already experienced in grey squirrel control
