The Red Moss of Balerno is the only lowland peat bog in Edinburgh, and it’s home to a wide range of special plants and animals. Join staff and volunteers from Butterfly Conservation to find out more about the wildlife at this important place, which is a Scottish Wildlife Trust Reserve.
Throughout the event there will be a moth trap opening, butterfly and bee walks, plant identification and wildlife hunts. It is suitable for all ages, and there is a boardwalk so the reserve is easily accessed.
the reserve is about two miles south of Balerno, along Mansfield Road. There is parking available at the Threipmuir Reservoir car park and the reserve is signposted from there.
