NT3235 : Traquair House Bioblitz - 2021
taken 3 years ago, near to Traquair, Scottish Borders, Scotland
The first Bioblitz was on 18-19 September, hosted by Catherine Maxwell Stuart, 21st Lady of Traquair. The aim of a Bioblitz is to record as many plant, animal and fungus species as possible in a designated area - in this case within 2km radius of Traquair. The Walled Garden was the base for various presentations, after organisations specialising in different groups of organisms came together on the first day to collect. On the second day they display, identify and explain to others about them, and lead short walks for the visiting public. A follow-up event, to record Spring flora, fauna and fungi, was held on 13-14 May 2023.
