From the spectacular landscape of the Cairngorms to the corridors of Holyrood, Plantlife Scotland fights for wild plants, celebrates their beauty, and protects their future.
Wild flowers, plants and fungi are the life support for all Scotland’s wildlife and their colour and character light up our mountains and glens, lochs and islands. But without our help, this priceless natural heritage is in danger of being lost.
Plantlife’s Cairngorms Project Manager Sam Jones reveals how a tiny flower in Scotland is fighting back against extinction in the UK, and what we’ve learnt about this mysterious wee plant.
Over the last four years, we have been working with partners to protect this special habitat along with some of the plants and fungi that call it home.From protecting rare wildflowers to recording two new species of fungi to the UK, follow the link below to find out more about what was achieved through this amazing project.
