DAMAGE CAUSED BY SQUIRRELS IN FORESTRY COMMISSION AREAS, 1954–6

MRS. VIZOSO MONICA SHORTEN

Infestation Control Division, Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Food

The paper examines the replies received from foresters of the Forestry Commissionto questionnaires sent out at the author's suggestion in 1954, 1955, and 1956 on the damage caused to Forestry Commission woodlands by the two squirrels, Sciurus carolinensis and S. vulgaris leucourus, during the forest years 1954–6. The inquiry was primarily concerned with S. carolinensis, the grey squirrel, for the killing of which rewards have been offered since 1953, ut, for 1955 and 1956, information was sought also about the red squirrel. The most serious economic damage done by both squirrels is considered to be the stripping of bark from the stemsof growing trees and it is this damage which is examined. The information received is sifted critically and the results summarized in thirteen tables andin two diagrams.
