Progress on our bird hide is moving forward, though it's been a slower process than initially anticipated. We originally believed planning permission wouldn't be necessary, but this proved incorrect, adding significant time and expense to the project. As of January 2024, we've secured planning consent, purchased materials for the base, and prepared the ground for the concrete pour.
Having largely depleted our existing funds, we now need to raise a further £5,000 to complete the hide. To this end, we've launched a crowdfunding appeal and will recognize each donor with a plaque inside the completed structure. You can contribute to the build by scanning the QR code below.
We aim to see invasive species controlled and where possible removed from the Island of Seil.
We seek to identify important habitat, and work with land owners to protect and enhance sensitive sites.
Seil is a special place but without environmental research and record keeping it is hard to quantify what makes it special.
