SUMMARY:Biodiversity Villages & Towns Midsummer BioBlitz
DESCRIPTION:Every Action Counts – Tayside’s Local Patch Project \nOur Perth and Kinross Biodiversity Village\, Town & Neighbourhood communities can add their own wildlife records all year round using their own individual page (check out the details in the link below). First though\, it is very easy to sign up as an iNaturalist observer to add your sightings – https://uk.inaturalist.org/signup. \nFor the Festival’s Midsummer BioBlitz\, you can discover the wildlife in your own community over the next two days and add your observations online via the iNaturalist App. No wildlife knowledge is expected so just follow the advice on the App! \nKnowing what wildlife is using “our patch” we can look after it far better. You can concentrate just on your own garden\, local park\, churchyard or allotment\, involve the school or nearby businesses\, or ask if residents in the local care home can enjoy some wildlife-spotting in their grounds. \nPlease record and share observations of your local pollinators\, birds\, animals\, trees or wild plants – whatever you see. Beyond these two midsummer “bioblitz” days\, you can still record all the species you see in the months to come. \nFind out more by going to the dedicated Biodiversity Villages & Towns iNaturalist page –\nhttps://www.inaturalist.org/projects/biodiversity-village-communities-mini-bioblitz?tab=about \nWe will be adding to the list below so let us know if you can’t see your community –\nAbernethy / Alyth / Ardler / Auchterarder\nBertha Park\, Perth / Blairgowrie & Rattray\nCrieff / Crook of Devon Dunkeld & Birnam / Dunning\nErrol / Guildtown / Kettins / Kinnesswood\, Portmoak and Scotlandwell\nKinross / Luncarty / North Muirton\, Perth / Pitlochry\nSt Madoes & Glencarse / Stanley / Wolfhill

SUMMARY:Join our Online Midsummer BioBlitz!
DESCRIPTION:Every Action Counts – Tayside’s Local Patch Project \nDiscover the wildlife in and around your own home over the next two days and add your observations online via the easy iNaturalist App. No wildlife knowledge is expected so just follow the advice on the App! \nIf we know what wildlife is using “our patch” we can look after it – and enjoy it. This can be in our own garden or allotment\, school\, business or care home grounds\, or a local park or graveyard. \nRecording wildlife means that every action really does count so please record and share observations of your local pollinators\, birds\, animals\, trees or wild plants – whatever you see. You can aim for a “bioblitz” of your patch recording all the species you see over a short time – or you can take it steady and visit the same space every few weeks or once in each season. \nFind out more by going to the dedicated Tayside iNaturalist page – https://uk.inaturalist.org/projects/every-action-counts-tayside-s-local-patch-project?tab=about and make a start! \nIf you have yet to join iNaturalist as an observer just go to http://uk.inaturalist.org/signup first and then you can add your observations from anywhere in the world for as long as you want!

SUMMARY:Art of Walking
DESCRIPTION:The Kinross-shire Climate Café will meet before our summer break on 14th June in the centre of Milnathort and walk together to Tillywhally Community Woodland. The walk will be an experience of our fragmented and volatile nature in the modern world. The woodland provides a very small wildlife habitat in a sea of agricultural land scarred by the road’s network. Nevertheless it is a place where woodland birds raise their chicks\, pipistrelle bats hunt for moths and lonely hares and deer seek refuge at night. \nWe will enjoy a mindfulness walk\, observing nature and looking for signs of its adaptation to climate change and habitat loss. \nAfter the walk we will return to Milnathort Town Hall to enjoy refreshments and share home-made food to nourish and connect with each other. \nThis will be followed by a screening “Of Walking On Thin Ice” organised by Milnathort Filmhouse Community Cinema. It is a film made by Benjamin Wigley\, following the 500-mile journey (Camino to COP26) made on foot by hundreds of climate activists from Bristol and London to Glasgow for the COP26 Climate Conference in November 2021. “Of Walking On Thin Ice” is a beautiful film which captures the spirit of hope in action\, embodied by the Camino\, and the community of care and connection that was formed on this journey. The film shows us not only how we can advocate and influence\, but also BE the change that we want for our world. \nThat special “pilgrimage” took place a few years back. Reliving it will bring an opportunity to reflect on what has changed since then. The film will be followed by a discussion on benefits of walking\, our links with nature and how we could preserve this for the future. It will also be a positive start to our Scottish summer to discover the benefits of gentle exercise. \nEvent price: £10/£5 (the reduction if you contribute sandwiches\, scones or a cake to share).

SUMMARY:WizzyWARP24 - Birdsong and More
DESCRIPTION:This event by West Stormont Woodland Group is being arranged with Vision PK to bring a small group of visually-impaired people to Taymount Wood for an enjoyable few hours in nature. \nWSWG has secured funding for this event from the PKC Green Living Fund which will enable us to provide transport on the day. There will be shelter and seating in the WSWG gazebos where we will offer our visitors a woodland picnic and some engaging conversation and activities around nature\, wellbeing\, woodland history and simple information and actions we can all use to live greener lives. With one-to-one support from volunteers on the day\, we will take a walk together up the woodland track to experience as much as we can of the birdsong and other woodland sounds\, smells\, textures and more. \nAs a closed event\, we unfortunately can’t take bookings for this specific event. However\, we would love to run similar events in the future – so please do contact us if you would like to be part of these: contact@weststormontwoodlandgroup.scot \n
