BSCG was delighted to be involved with the Grantown 250 anniversary celebrations of June 2015. ‘Food from Flowers’ and protecting ‘Precious Pollinators’ were themes of our display in the food tent and later in the week at the Figgat Fair day we focussed on 'Grantown’s Wildlife Gems'. Honeybee combs at different stages of development provided part of our exhibit which attracted plenty of interest. We also had a display on other pollinators including little scabious mining bee, one of the special bees of the Mossie and an outstanding wildlife area at Grantown-on-Spey.

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.
