NRS currently has 32 group members with an additional 20 sub-groups and another three new groups who will soon be up and running. Each group remains totally independent, but being a member group means that we can all work together to communicate, work collaboratively, help our network grow by encouraging new groups to set up, keep up the momentum, motivate and above to HAVE A VOICE in today’s complicated world of Red Squirrel Conservation. Charles Immortalised Local Cumbrian Sculptor, Kirsty Armstrong, who has many years experience and is also the Chairman of Brampton Red Squirrel Group, has recently finished her latest piece ‘Charles’.
