Learn more about the action we are taking around the country for Scotland’s most vulnerable coastal species.
Across the country, our seven area teams are taking action for 37 of Scotland’s rarest and most vulnerable coastal species. Activity includes: surveying and monitoring; habitat creation and enhancement; removal of invasive species; sowing and planting of vital foodplants; conservation breeding programmes; community engagement events; training volunteers; working with land managers to help them manage their land in a way that benefits themselves and biodiversity.
