Meadow magic
- posted 8th July 2025

This year is a much better year for bumble bees and butterflies, and they are loving our meadow flowers this summer. It is so great to see and hear these wee guys fluttering and buzzing their way around our meadow, orchard and food forest.
 
Aswell as fabulous to watch, insects are a key part of the network of life. They are essential for pollinating many of our food crops and with numbers greatly depleted (by 65% in the last few years in Scotland alone), we hope our efforts to support these and other wildlife species help move us all towards a more sustainable future for everyone.
 
‘If we and the rest of the back-boned animals were to disappear overnight, the rest of the world would get on pretty well. But if the invertebrates were to disappear, the world’s ecosystems would collapse.’ Sir David Attenborough
 
All our yurts have Woodland Trust guides on identifying butterflies and many other wildlife species along with information on the wildlife and environmental activities and projects we do on site and in our community.
