My partner has been walking in Blairadam Forest almost every day for the last two years and has watched red squirrels over that time. He told the forestry commission that there were red squirrels there when he noticed signs to say that they would be cutting down the trees. He has spoken to them and sent emails to them stating that they were in three areas in Blairadam Forest that he was aware of and even pointed the areas out on a map when he spoke to them. The Forestry commission assured him that they would look into it but after a 1 week survey (haha) they went and cut the trees down anyway - there goes the few red squirrels in that area????
