Come along to this FREE workshop to learn about two rare invertebrates that can be found on the Aberdeenshire coast – the Bordered Brown Lacewing and the Northern Brown Argus.
Join Caitlin, Buglife Species on the Edge Conservation Officer, and learn about the lifecycles of these species, how to identify them in the field, and how to survey both species and habitat. The workshop will begin with a presentation session in the community hall at St James Episcopal Church in Stonehaven and will be followed by a survey at Skatie Shore.
All under 18s must be accompanied by an adult. Please wear suitable clothing and bring a packed lunch. Equipment will be provided but feel free to bring your own sweep net or hand lens.

*******************************
Species on the Edge is an ambitious programme for species recovery in Scotland, that aims to take action on over 37 declining and threatened species across Scotland’s coasts and islands.
The programme is led by NatureScot with members of the Rethink Nature partnership (Amphibian and Reptile Conservation, Bat Conservation Trust, Buglife, Bumblebee Conservation Trust, Butterfly Conservation, Plantlife, and RSPB Scotland). With funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, we aim to deliver targets through nine species-specific project plans.
