We love the Brownsea Island red squirrels as much as this one loves its pine cone! 🤣 We estimate that around 250 of these iconic creatures live on the island and are often seen scampering up and down the trees gathering and devouring nuts. An absolute favourite of visitors to the island, and you can see why! 😍 Donate to the #BrownseaBigGive to help fund vital engagement work, educating visitors about these small mammals and leading volunteer parties to maintain their habitat 👉 https://bit.ly/

Did you know you can visit six of our beautiful nature reserves from the comfort of your front room? Google Virtual Tours are available for Brownsea Island, Lorton Meadows, Upton Heath, Powerstock Common, Fontmell Down and Kingcombe Meadows. So, please enjoy the wildlife and views and we can't wait to see everyone back at our centres when lockdown is over and it's safe to do so. Have a lovely day! ~ Cat (Here's the link to all the tours: https://www.dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk/googletours) | Dors
