North Isles Habitat and Species Survey, Management and Restoration

Many important wildlife sites in the North Isles are designated for their conservation value on a local, national, European, or global level. These include Special Protection Areas and Special Areas for Conservation, Sites of Special Scientific Interest and Local Nature Conservation Sites. Other areas are owned by conservation organisations - the Scottish Wildlife Trusts and the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, and are managed for nature conservation.

Outside of these protected areas there are many other locations possessing considerable natural heritage value or potential. This project will undertake habitat surveys at selected sites to assess their condition and the potential they may have for restoration or changes in management to support more wildlife.

The project also includes an opportunity to learn about native wildflower seed collection and propagation.

More information about this project will be added as it develops.
