"We are fortunate to have an outstanding natural environment in the North East. The safeguarding of our amazing biodiversity is something that all ages can, and should, be involved in"

The James Hutton Institute will be hosting a BioBlitz event at its site in Craigiebuckler on Friday 28th July - come and help ecologists identify as many species of plants, animals and fungi, in a race against the clock to learn as much as possible about biodiversity in the North East.

Twenty organisations including OPAL, Saving Scotland’s Red Squirrels, Scottish Wildcat Action, RSPB, Butterfly Conservation, RZSS, Dee Catchment Partnership, Aberdeen and Moray Rangers and many more, will be joining to record the wildlife at the site.
