Field Meeting at EVANTON, EASTER ROSS (Jointly with Inverness Botany Group)

BSS Signup Link – places are limited

When: Saturday 12 July 2025, 10:30 – 17:30

Where: The grassland and coastal habitat below the village of Evanton and on the north side of Cromarty Firth. A few paths, which may be wet and muddy in places, cross the grassland and lead to the saltmarsh and coast, from where there are good views across the Firth to the Black Isle.

What: As well as common grassland species, we hope to see a variety of saltmarsh and coastal species such as Armeria maritima (Thrift), Silene uniflora (Sea Campion), and both Spergularia marina (Lesser Sea-spurrey) and S. media (Greater Sea-spurrey).

We aim to add to the records for the area. Beginners welcome. Further information from Mary Dean, themarydean@aol.com.
