BMIG Week - Dundreggan, Scotland - S:eptember 2011:
Whilst I was at Dundreggan in Glen Moriston it was mentioned that some naturalists from Liverpool have already been involved in recording on the estate. I mentioned that the British Myriapod and Isopod Group (BMIG) hold field meetings and Trees for Life have offered the use of the comfortable lodge, which is a 70's bungalow to BMIG from the 10th to the 17th of September 2011. The field visit is being organised by Glyn Collis who lives on Bute and presently there are some 6/7 millipede/woodlice folk intending to participate.
I don't know whether your network includes some budding enthusiasts but I think Glyn would be happy to include one or two more people. I am not able to join the first weekend but plan to go up probably 13th September. The estate has only been managed by TFL for 3 years and there is a big push to fully evaluate the existing habitats and only selectively increase native species woodland which already includes extensive juniper and some montane dwarf birch. Anyway if you think there might some interest let me know.
