WARRINGTON’S growing red squirrel colony has been given a boost by a local supermarket.
The store has donated reusable carrier bags bearing a picture of a squirrel who is “nuts about recycling” to the children’s zoo at Walton Hall Gardens, where the squirrels are being bred.
People who adopt one of the squirrels are given one of the bags as part of their adoption pack, which also includes a red squirrel fact pack, pin badge, car sticker, magnet, certificate and invite to a special “squirrel evening.”
So far this year, 13 baby red squirrels have been born at the zoo and rangers are hoping for an autumn litter as well.
Anyone who would like more information about the red squirrels at Walton should call 01925 601617, extension two.
Pictured is Beverley Batey, one of the first red squirrel adopters, with her adoption pack.
