The results largely confirmed work elsewhere in Britain. Beech and sycamore were more seriously damaged than other species present. Among mature trees, there was significant variation between sites according to the care that had been taken to control squirrels. In the best cases, >90 per cent of trees were undamaged, while in the worst examples only 10 per cent of trees had escaped damage. Among younger trees (
