Operation Nutcracker | The Return of the Red Squirrel

Red Squirrels were once a common sight in woodlands around the Uk but now, they’re one of our rarest Mammals.
In this episode of Wild Tales, we head to Plas Newydd on the island of Ynys Môn in Wales, where a remarkable effort to bring them back is underway.
