COMMUNITIES are coming together to grow a nature network across the country.
Across the Highlands, communities are now reaping the benefits of taking part in a project, run by the High Life Highland Countryside Rangers. The scheme is being funded by Highland Council through the Scottish Government’s Nature Restoration Fund, a capital fund designed to help support projects that will deliver nature restoration, safeguard wildlife, and tackle the causes of biodiversity loss due to climate change.
For those who would like to try growing wildflowers, now is a good time to start using seeds gathered locally from wildflowers or from a Scottish wildflower pack. “Now is the perfect time. Pick a dry day and go out with an old cotton pillowcase and a pair of scissors and take a few seed heads from the wildflowers around the verges where you are. It is legal to take the seeds although it’s not legal to dig the flowers up.”
