"There's so many people that have never even seen a red." The red squirrel has been under threat in Northern Ireland, but a scheme to release more into the grounds of NT Castle Ward is hoping to revitalise the population 🌰🐿️

Red squirrels have been successfully introduced NT Castle Ward in a bid to establish a new population of the iconic native species. The first four reds were released into their new woodland home from Belfast Zoo this winter. Learn more at: nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/northern… 📸 Adam Gerrard

There's nothing like turning a corner on a woodland walk to discover a blanket of bluebells sprawling across the forest floor. In fact when you spot a thick carpet of purple perfection, it's an indication that you’re walking through an ancient woodland. 📷 Sarah NT Castle Ward
