Two bogs, a swamp and some islands: revealing the hidden gems of Loch Lomond and beyond Make Space For Nature

In this episode we take you on a boat trip down the River Endrick at Loch Lomond National Nature Reserve,  where we chat with NatureScot area staff Amee Hood, Stephen Longster and Robyn Hennessey.  They guide us through the unique flora and fauna of not only Loch Lomond, but also Flanders Moss and Blawhorn Moss National Nature Reserves, the three reserves they help look after.

We hear about these special habitats, discuss the invasive non-native species that threaten them and reveal the conservation efforts led by NatureScot staff and volunteers.

As we delve deeper, the team explain the type of work that goes on at a nature reserve, from monitoring birds and managing invasive species, to unearthing rare plants. They also share their own seasonal highlights and passion for the natural world.

So, join us in discovering the natural beauty of Scotland's nature reserves and the crucial conservation efforts underway.
