Guardians of the Flower - Plantlife Scotland
We have been working with Plantlife Scotland to support the recovery of twinflower within the Cairngorms National Park.
This beautiful little plant is critically endangered after a sustained period of habitat loss during the 1930's. Here in Glen Tanar we are lucky to have a number of remaining twinflower sites, but due to poor seed production caused by their isolation these remaining plants are at risk.
By working with the Plantlife Scotland team, our regular volunteers and other partners we have found a solution to support the growth of twinflower in the forest and ensure its future in the glen.
You can watch this video to find out more.
