Slender Scotch Burnet volunteer work party - Black Beach, Isle of Mull

Location : Black Beach, Kilninian, Isle of Mull

Date: Friday 26th & Saturday 27th April, 10am - 4pm. Even if you can only make it for part of either day you are still welcome to attend.

Scotland's Burnet moths are some of the most magnificent and rarest insects in the UK. The Slender Scotch Burnet only occurs on Mull and Ulva, and is a key species of the Species on the Edge programme. Their fragile habitat is being threatened by encroaching cotoneaster, join us to help remove the scrub and learn more about these magnificent day flying moths. We might even see a caterpillar or two!
