In 1997, Esmé initiated the eradication of grey squirrels (S. carolinensis) from the island of Anglesey, building a partnership of like minded individuals from within the local community. Today, the grey squirrel is absent from Anglesey and the island contains the largest red squirrel population in Wales. (en) |
