Picchio’s long history (this year marks the 29th year since the tour began) of researching flying squirrels and running this tour has resulted in a high sighting rate of over 95% every time.
The specially designed nest boxes, used freely by the flying squirrels, have small cameras hidden inside, allowing us a window into their world. You can watch the squirrels prepare to leave their nest in the evening without disturbing them. The sighting rate was 96.89% in 2022, so you’re almost guaranteed to see these amazing animals fly!
The tour begins with a short lecture introducing you to the interesting physiology and feeding habits of the flying squirrel. The passionate guide knows everything about these animals, and they will share tips on how to observe the squirrels without missing a detail. The lecture is fun and easy to understand, so even children can engage with the content and become flying squirrel-watching experts!
This year you can take notes of everything you learn during the tour with Picchio’s new interactive worksheet. Engage further with the tour’s content and share your newfound knowledge more easily with friends, family, and even teachers.
Picchio conducts a variety of nature tours, utilizing specialized knowledge gained through many years of surveying wild flora and fauna. This knowledge and experience are also passed on through environmental education programs for school groups and companies.
On this specific tour, Picchio believes that having an experienced nature guide explain the ecology of the flying squirrels and their connections with other flora and fauna will help improve people’s awareness of ecosystems and nature in general.
