Assynt Naturalists
The Field Club has been efficient over the years at recording and making information available about Assynt’s wildlife. However, we have not been as diligent at providing information about our wildlife recorders!
This section of our website was created in January 2019 to help address this. We will use this page to put faces to some of the Assynt Naturalists who have provided the ‘what, where and when’ during the history of the Field Club.
Sadly, by the nature of such a section, we are most likely to be providing obituaries of those naturalists who gave so freely and happily of their time and expertise. They have provided us all with a unique opportunity to gain a much fuller understanding and appreciation of Assynt’s Wildlife.
We also aim to acknowledge those who are still recording and reporting; we hope that this page will also be able to satisfy that ambition.
