Save Our SSSI - Wetland Conservation at Scotstown Moor
Join the Countryside Ranger Service for this hands-on conservation event at Scotstown Moor, a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). This important habitat is home to a diverse array of wildlife and your help is needed to protect and anhance its unique wetland ecosystem.
Our activities will focus on:
- Gorse Removal: Using saws and loppers, we will cut back invasive gorse, which is absorbing water from the wetland and outcompeting other native flora.
- Wetland Expansion: Assist in vital efforts to restore and extend the wetland area, promoting biodiversity and supporting the natural water cycle
This is a fantastic opportunity to learn about wetland ecosystems, meet like-minded people and make a tangible impact on preserving Scotstown Moor's natural beauty.
