Celebrities scribble a red squirrel to help Merseyside conservation efforts.
WILDLIFE lovers were today invited to bid for unique celebrity artwork to celebrate Red Squirrel Week.
A host of famous names, including wildlife expert Bill Oddie and comedienne Jo Brand, were enlisted to Scribble A Squirrel and have their artwork auctioned on eBay. The public can also add their designs to the collection.
Money raised from the project will help continue the Wildlife Trust’s work in Merseyside and West Lancashire, which currently only has funding until March.
Conservation officer Fiona Whitfield said: “This is a unique and innovative way to help red squirrel conservation.”
