Toronto Squirrels

[Catherine]

What a mess we create when we introduce species. Why would anyone introduce our grey squirrels to England. Of course they "escaped". Did anyone really think they could be controlled.
Your dear little red squirrels can't compete. I hope they find a way to sort things out.

Reintroducing beavers is fine, but you have so few predators left. Again, did they think the beavers would stay where they were put?
Beavers have their own ideas of water management. They don't always fit what we want to do. What a mess. Once a natural balance has been lost, it is very hard to sort things out. I hope they do not come up with some drastic solution. Better to adjust things gradually.
I am sure there are areas that would benefit from some beaver activity. They could be moved.
