Description: | The grey squirrel is native to the oak and hickory forests of eastern North America. During the 19th century small numbers of grey squirrels were introduced to the UK. They rapidly spread and replaced the native British red squirrel in most areas. There are now thought to be more than 2 million grey squirrels in the UK. Major control efforts are underway to reduce the population and protect the remaining population of red squirrels.
