The Moths at Home project took place throughout 2019 and was led by the SW Scotland Branch of Butterfly Conservation, working with SWSEIC and a range of partners and people to demonstrate the beauty and diversity of moths that live in their own gardens across the Galloway Glens area. The project involved organising a series of community moth recording events at locations, and also sought to explain the ecological importance of moths, how gardens can be managed for their benefit, and how recording moths can benefit their conservation, whilst being fun to do.
The Moths at Home project was supported by a grant of £3,500 through the Galloway Glens ‘Our Heritage’ Small Grant Scheme.
The results of the project can be viewed at the SWSEIC website.
