Project Squirrel

No matter where you live, city or suburb, from the Midwest to the East Coast, Canada to California, whether squirrels live in your neighborhood or not, Project Squirrel encourages people to become squirrel monitors. Fox squirrels and grey squirrels are two of the most familiar species of wildlife in many neighborhoods and natural areas. In addition to being interesting animals to watch, squirrels can tell us a lot about our local environment and how it is changing. By contributing your squirrel observations from home, the office, school, a park, or anywhere, you are helping this citizen science project understand the ecology of our neighborhoods.
