Wildlife
With long stretches of beach, sand dunes, pine forests and deciduous woodland stretching over 500 acres Formby's varied terrain has a diverse range of wildlife.
Formby is within the North Merseyside and West Lancashire Red Squirrel Stronghold, one of a few refuges left for red squirrels across the UK. We are very proud of our red squirrel population at Formby, and want to do what’s best for them. Anytime you visit the woodland areas here you are likely to see a red squirrel.
Formby is most famous for its Red Squirrels but did you know that it is also home to animals that are even more rare? These beautiful and elusive creatures make their homes in the fragile mobile dune habitats of the Sefton coast where their presence has helped the area to gain both UK and international conservation designations, Natterjack Toad.
