The Red Squirrel Trust
The Red Squirrel Trust is an Isle of Wight based charity comprising of a group of dedicated people committed to the protection and survival of our native red squirrels, their habitat and the species that share it with them. We also educate the general public about our native red squirrels.
We aim to educate and raise public awareness by:
- Providing short talks.
- Take guided walks.
- Direct you to a facility where the public can see red squirrels.
- Provide information packs.
- Make educational films.

With help from the West Wight Landscape Partnership, The Red Squirrel Trust produced a free walks guide. The West Wight is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty- and we hope you enjoy your walks and will want to visit the West Wight often.
The walks featured in the booklet were submitted by members of the general public as being their ‘favourite woodland walk’. The Red Squirrel Trust put together the routes based on this information plus local knowledge of rights of way paths and places to see wildlife.
