Tom Prescott has worked for Butterfly Conservation for over 20 years.  He ran a moth trapping course at Glencanisp in 2006, which resulted in at least two participants becoming moth trappers.  His talk will focus on Butterfly Conservation’s work in the Highlands and how to become involved.  He will also mention their ‘Species on the Edge’ project in co-operation with other conservation bodies.

The start time is 7.30pm in Rhue Stoer Hall.  Admission is on a ‘pay what you can’ basis (suggested donation £3).  Under 16s are free.  Refreshments are provided after the talk.

Any queries to the Secretary, Gwen Richards (01571 844032) or Chair, Charlie Leeson (01571 855389)
