Fox squirrels are taking over Salt Lake City neighborhoods, and it’s not just about a few chewed-up apples. These newcomers are pushing out Utah’s native red squirrels, which play a huge role in keeping our forests healthy. Without red squirrels, the balance of our local ecosystem could tip, leading to problems like poorer water quality and higher land management costs. Folks are already seeing more yard damage and fruit loss. Have you noticed more squirrels around your block? What do you think should be done to protect our forests and homes? #Science #SaltLakeCity #UtahWildlife
