Get to Know and Explore Squirrels: Join In!

Whether in your garden, in the city park, or deep within the forest, wherever there are trees, you're likely to encounter these charming creatures. Watching squirrels is undeniably entertaining, but surprisingly little is known about their daily lives, population trends, and habitats in Bavaria.

Our Mission

At BUND Naturschutz, we are committed to changing this lack of knowledge. By learning more about these adorable animals, we can better protect them and their natural habitats. We invite you to be part of this exciting journey by joining us as a squirrel researcher. Your observations will play a crucial role in helping us understand where squirrels reside in Bavaria, how many there are, and what behaviors they exhibit.
