About

 

In Argyll and the Inner Hebrides, we have a team of four Species on the Edge officers: Cathryn, Liz, Lucy and Sally. Cathryn is based on Skye, Liz on Mull, Lucy on Islay, and Sally is on the mainland. Together they are working closely with local communities and land managers to secure a future for 19 nationally rare and vulnerable species.
