Urban Squirrels

Urban Squirrels

London-based wildlife rescue unit that specializes in grey squirrel rescue and advocacy. We take in injured or orphaned squirrels, mostly babies, who are brought to us by members of the public or referred by vets. We look after them, treating any injuries and hand-rearing when necessary. We also have some squirrels living with us full-time, generally because of a disability. Urban Squirrels also works to improve the public image of the animal. As an introduce species, grey squirrels often become the target of prejudice and unfair persecution. Their ecological impact is routinely exaggerated or falsified altogether. We seek to correct false information in the public sphere via social and mainstream media.
