Biological Recording and Moth ID

Join Borders Forest Trust staff and Malcolm Haddow from SWSEIC (South West Scotland Environmental Information Centre) to learn all about biological recording and how to submit records to iRecord. We will start by IDing moths, before heading out to look at various habitats in the in-bye land at Corehead including wetland, meadows and woodland and recording what we find.

It’s worth noting this is a rural location, there is a compost toilet on the site but the nearest cafes, shops and public toilets are located in Moffat.

Borders Forest Trust Corehead Car Park, the path can be muddy, so good outdoor shoes are recommended.

[Head north from Moffat on Beechgrove leading to The Old Edinburgh Rd. Continue until you reach Ericstane farm. Follow the road round to the right, crossing a small bridge with railings, then go through the farm. Continue carefully along this road until you reach the carpark.]
