Practical Conservation day at SWT Gailes March reserve, Irvine to create habitat for the Small Blue butterfly. ALL WELCOME!
Tasks for the day will include:
1. Planting about 500 kidney vetch plants, which are the caterpillar food plant for the Small Blue.
2.Having fun outdoors and enjoying some sunshine (hopefully!)
Trowels and other tools will be provided. If you have work gloves bring them along and don't forget to bring a packed lunch.
We wll have access to the neaby SWT office in Irvine that has toilet facilities if needed and even tea/coffee! Hurrah!:)
Getting there: Trains from Glasgow Central leave every 30 minutes (i.e. 9.30 or 10am) and take 35 minutes to get to Irvine. We can collect you from Irvine Train station. A lift from Glasgow might also be available.
Parking is available at the reserve just off Marine Drive (beside the track next to the gate at NS323360.)
