Eichhörnchenstation

Eichhörnchenstation Buttwil is a wildlife rescue and care station in Buttwil, Switzerland, dedicated to helping native Eurasian red squirrels. It provides a point of contact for people who find injured or orphaned squirrels, offering guidance on how to secure and house them and asking finders to call promptly for instructions. The station cares for young and injured animals with expertise and compassion, raising orphaned squirrels, supporting their recovery, and preparing them for a healthy return to the wild.

Its facilities include a baby station, outdoor aviaries, and an acclimatisation and release aviary. The website also shares practical information about finding squirrels, assessing their age, and distinguishing native squirrels from non-native grey squirrels, alongside educational material about squirrel biology and mythology. Visitors can explore a gallery, media features, team information, and event updates.
