The Red Squirrel Survival Trust is a national charity established to ensure the conservation and protection of the red squirrel in the UK.

RSST is committed to partnering with dedicated and knowledgeable local groups around the country. We do not try to reinvent the wheel; instead we listen to what local groups tell us and work together to protect red squirrels in the UK. We favour the use of volunteers wherever possible to support our aims. As well as ensuring strong community involvement in the cause, this also keeps administration and overheads costs to a minimum. We have seen in areas such as northern England that with the right approach, red squirrels will reoccupy their former territory. The vital ingredients that allow this to happen are dedicated leadership, strong community support, and a realistic policy of grey squirrel control.
