Biodiversity and new development – Recording what is in our areas

Recorded Wednesday 4th December 2024

In this webinar, we heard from The Wildlife Information Centre about its role in building an understanding of what nature exists in different areas and how it works with communities.

We were also joined by from individuals who are recording wildlife and uploading the data to help monitor and protect what’s in their areas.

Find out why getting community input on biodiversity is so vital at an early stage of the planning process.

There is an additional talk by Tess Jones of Badenoch and Strathspey Conservation Group on a recording below the main one.
