The Big Tent Festival, Falkland, Fife 23rd to 25th July 2010
The Big Tent, Scotland’s main environmental festival, is just two weeks away and without doubt this year will be the biggest and best yet!
For the full programme on the Big Tent go to www.bigtentfestival.co.uk
There are still a few places left in the Big Tent Summer School, organised by Transition Scotland and One Planet Food in the run-up to the Big Tent, 21st to 23rd July: www.bigtentfestival.co.uk/summer-schoolIdentifying and Recording Moths, Ardgay , Sutherland - 16th June
This event will interest members of woodland community groups who want to improve their knowledge of invertebrates within their woods as an aid to informing future management, to enhance community involvement and/or for the production of interpretive materials. The event will highlight the importance of well-managed native woods to invertebrates and inspire future generations of woodland owners to care for these less obvious inhabitants. The involvement of Gledfield Primary pupils in the illustration of a moth identification leaflet is therefore a crucial part of the exercise.
