Pin Badges For Underscar.

We are very lucky to have a red squirrel colony on the Underscar Estate.These beautiful creatures are a delight to watch and if you have never seen a red squirrel before, your first sighting will be a moment to treasure.






They are naturally timid creatures, although the squirrel colony has grown used to the human visitors who share their space at Underscar.






Pauline and Derek Harrison previous owners of Underscar Manor were the first to coax the colony along through careful supplementary feeding. Now the couple are retired the Underscar family carry on this work.


I hope when Pauline and Derek still visit Underscar they will enjoy especially the sight of the squirrels clambering over the feeders with Underscar Manor as a backdrop. 






Pin badges are the latest addition to our red squirrel products at Underscar. Pin badges have now become fashion accessories.By wearing one of the Underscar red squirrel badges we are highlighting how we are trying to protect one of the many successful red squirrel colonies in Cumbria.This is how I wear my Underscar red squirrel badges.



Underscar has launched a competition for children and young people to design a squirrel pin badge.
