Training - Grey Squirrel Management

Training the next generation of squirrel managers is vital if we’re going to turn the tide on grey squirrel damage in the UK.

Delivered by professionals with field experience, the course covers legislation, trapping methods, non-target species ID, and how to design an effective long-term control strategy. It’s rooted in real-world management and supports those aiming to protect red squirrels, restore woodland biodiversity, and reduce timber loss caused by bark stripping.

Squirrel Management Plan PA7

Grey squirrels pose a significant threat to UK woodlands, causing damage through bark stripping and competing with native species.

They not only suppress natural regeneration but also contribute to the decline of red squirrels through disease transmission and habitat displacement. At WildTrackPro, we deliver comprehensive, data-led squirrel management plans designed to protect woodland health and support red squirrel conservation.

Through field surveys, activity mapping and impact assessments, we provide practical guidance tailored to each site. Our plans help landowners take informed, targeted action that aligns with biodiversity net gain woodland creation and long-term carbon objectives.

Funding is available for up to £204.79 per type of species per approved plan to a maximum of £1023.95 per approved plan

Contracted Management

Our contracted squirrel management services offer a targeted and ethical approach to controlling invasive grey squirrel populations across the UK.

Grey squirrels pose a serious threat to native red squirrels through competition and the spread of squirrelpox, while also causing significant damage to woodlands by stripping bark and reducing commercial timber value.

We provide expert trapping and control operations using humane and compliant methods, designed to protect biodiversity and preserve woodland health. Our team collaborates with estates, landowners, and conservation bodies to develop site-specific management plans that align with current legislation and conservation goals.

With teams operating in Northumberland, North Yorkshire, Ribble Valley, Yorkshire, South East, Essex and Lincolnshire we deliver proven results supported by ecological data.

Locate a Wildlife Manager (or Team)

If you own or manage an estate or piece of ground that necessitates expert squirrel and deer management, we have the ideal resources available. Understanding and managing deer populations requires a deep comprehension of their unique behaviours, breeding patterns, feeding habits, and population trends. We can facilitate access to professional wildlife managers and/or a highly competent team of vetted deerstalkers to manage your property.
