Squirrels of Clocaenog Conifer Plantation in North Wales (1992-2006)

Presence of red and grey squirrels in Clocaenog Forest, based on joint contract run by Forestry Commission Research Agency (FCRA) and Countryside Council for Wales (CCW) (1992-1999) , with subsequent records supplied by Sarah Cartmel (1999-2006). The purpose of this data capture was to investigate the population ecology of red and grey squirrels and to identify their habitat requirements, and to investigate the relative populations of red and grey squirrels in parts of the forest and whether they are stable or changing.
