About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

We embarked on an ambitious Highland Wildflower Meadow Mosaic project three years ago. Since then, several pollinator-friendly small meadow sites were created or worked on in Ullapool. Come and see how the sites have changed, learn about pollinators and how to make your own meadow however big. We will also be carrying out some citizen science and studying and recording pollinators and other wildlife on the sites.

Booking essential as places limited. Aimed at adults but children can attend with their parents/carers.

We make no charge for this event but we rely on your donations to help us protect our Highland wildlife and heritage. Suggested donation for this event is £5 per person (or £10 per family of however many).
