Scotland: Kingshill Volunteer Work Party

We will be clearing scrub to improve grassland habitat for the Narrow-bordered Bee Hawk-moth and several butterfly species.

Invasive scrub if left to grow will dominate the important species-rich grassland habitat that is so important for many species of butterfly and alocal rarity species, the Narrow-bordered Bee Hawk-moth. We’ll be using tools such as loppers and saws to remove the scrub.

Kingshill Local Nature Reserve is on the outskirts of Allanton which is near Shotts. A former site of heavy industry it is now a mosaic of habitats including wetland, grassland, bog and woodland which supports a rich array of wildlife.

Transport to the site is available from our Stirling Office (and occasionally pick-ups can be arranged for places en-route) - please get in touch to arrange this.

Start: 10.30am at Kingshill (We'll give you directions and information)
Finish: 3pm

Please bring: Water, lunch, sturdy footwear and work clothes - including waterproofs. Be prepared for cold conditions and bring a warm hat, fleece etc..and a sense of humour!
