Areas of land of special scientific interest because of their flora, fauna, geological or physiographical features are notified as sites of special scientific interest (SSSIs). SSSIs in England that include red squirrels or natterjack toads as one of their notified features of special scientific interest are listed below. Other SSSI sites will have populations of these species, but have not been designated for that particular scientific interest.
Although this is a devolved policy issue, the Welsh Assembly Government have advised that in Wales the natterjack toad is present at Talacre Warren, which lies within the Dee Estuary SSSI. This is an introduced population and is not a designated feature of the SSSI. However, the management of the site is currently appropriate for the maintenance of the population.
There are areas in Wales where red squirrels occur. However, there are no SSSIs in Wales specifically designated for this particular species.
