Join Species on the Edge for the first talk of their new Winter Talk Series!

In this session, you will be joined by crofters Laura Sinclair and Donna Smith as well as Matt Willmott from the RSPB to hear about some exciting and innovative work taking place in Shetland: the trialling of specially designed seed mixes to provide a vital lifeline for pollinators during the summer and birds, such as Linties (Twites), in the winter.

This talk is being held as part of their Winter Talk Series. Each talk will be held online via Zoom.
