Explore nature and

have fun learning

Squirrels is a new provision for four and five year olds, to help young people gain skills for life at a time when it matters most and where it's most needed.

This new programme is currently open in 200 areas within the UK, with 9 Squirrels Dreys launching throughout autumn 2021 in Scotland. Squirrels might not be open in your community just yet, but you can still register your interest in volunteering with Squirrels now.

 

It's been amazing being able to get all of our Squirrels together, and seeing them making new friends and having fun doing all of the activities we ran.
