Accompanied by their mascot, a pair of activists from PA East Yorkshire told residents of Elloughton to 'Love Your Country!' 200 homes in the village received red squirrel flyers spreading the patriotic message.

With the assistance of two kind fellows from Patriotic Alternative, Nutkin has begun re-establishing territory in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Villagers in 600 homes across North Ferriby, Brough and Elloughton have been encouraged to love the countryside, rediscover their roots and be proud of their land.

The Native v the Invader - Part 1.
Red squirrels have lived in the British Isles since the glaciers of the last ice age retreated around 10,000 years ago. After Britain became detached from continental Europe due to sea level rise, land-bound species such as squirrels lived and developed in symbiosis with their environment to reach a sustainable population limited by available habitat and resources.
Grey squirrels, however, are an invasive non-native species introduced from the USA between 1876-1929 by the Victorians. Within 150 years the grey squirrel has become widespread in England and Wales, central Scotland and the eastern half of Ireland and is extremely damaging to its new environment. There are now 2.7 million greys in Britain and only about 287,000 red squirrels remaining, a ratio of approximately 10:1 – and the non-natives are still spreading.
