This May, people in Highland will get an opportunity to take part in a Festival with a difference. The Highland Soil Biodiversity Festival comprises nine days of illustrated talks, field visits and guided walks to raise awareness of the importance of our soils for nature and wildlife.
Janet Bromham, Biodiversity Officer with The Highland Council is co-ordinating the Festival. She said: “We have put together a very interesting programme of events all over Highland to try to answer the questions: Why does soil matter? What does it do for us? and What lives in and on it?
“We are holding this Festival during Scottish Biodiversity Week because soil and soil biodiversity is receiving more attention from the press and the policy makers – the State of Scotland Soil Report was produced last year – and yet very few people have a clear understanding of how soils work and why they are important to us. It fits in very well with the Scottish Biodiversity Week theme “Biodiversity is Life – Biodiversity is Our Life” and we hope lots of people across Highland will take this opportunity to find out about soil and associated wildlife.
