Strathspey supports most of Scotland's population of this, one of most endangered and extraordinary birds.

The entry charge £4.50 (£4.00 for RSPB members) includes refreshments. Please note this talk is not organised by BSCG and is the first of a series of wildlife talks on Monday evenings in Boat of Garten Community Hall.

The Cairngorms Need Your Help

In 2015 The Badenoch & Strathspey Conservation Group celebrated 40 years of speaking up for nature in the Cairngorms. Our efforts have helped ensure that this world class landscape still provides a refuge for Scotland’s rarest and most iconic wildlife, like Scottish wildcat, capercaillie, red squirrel and freshwater pearl mussel. Unfortunately both the outstanding scenery and wildlife that make the Cairngorms so special are increasingly threatened and are costly to defend. Please make a donation to our work today and help protect these treasured landscapes and their wildlife.
