Red Squirrel magnet

Premium Red Squirrel (Eekhoorn) fridge magnet (78x53mm) - the forest gardener! This charismatic native European squirrel is an essential seed disperser, planting thousands of trees through its forgetful food-caching behavior.

Why red squirrels are ecosystem engineers:

• Plant thousands of trees by forgetting buried nuts
• Spread fungi spores that help tree roots
• Prune trees naturally by eating buds and shoots
• Native European species (unlike invasive grey squirrels)
• Indicator of healthy coniferous and mixed woodlands
• Endangered in UK - thriving in continental Europe

How to support red squirrels in your garden:

• Plant native trees (hazel, oak, pine, beech)
• Provide squirrel feeders with hazelnuts and sunflower seeds
• Install squirrel boxes for nesting (dreys)
• Create wildlife corridors with connected tree canopies
• Avoid feeding grey squirrels (they outcompete reds)
• Leave dead wood for fungi - squirrel food source

Each magnet features stunning wildlife photography, strong magnetic hold, and comes with rewilding tips. Part of our 'Backyard Heroes' collection - celebrating European wildlife that thrives when we rewild our gardens.

A portion of proceeds supports European red squirrel conservation.
