Join the Scottish Wildlife Trust in improving wet habitats for wildlife by limiting the growth of reeds.
A monthly work party is held at Ben Mor Coigach Wildlife Reserve. Join Beth, our Reserves Project Officer, to undertake essential reserve maintenance tasks in this spectacular area of high peaks and rugged coastline. This month will involve carrying out habitat improvements and maintenance by manual removal of young reeds on the Achlochan peninsula.
