The Bog Squad was officially launched today by MSP Aileen Campbell - champion of the Large Heath butterfly - at Langlands Moss Local Nature Reserve. Butterfly Conservation, who were represented by committee members of the Glasgow & SW Scotland branch and the peatland restoration project officer, joined forces with the Friends of Langlands Moss .
It was a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon and it was great to see so many people (around 30!) come and help us launch our Peatland Restoration Project.
A big Thank You for the support we received from the Friends of Langlands Moss.

After the launch members of both organisations took to bin bags for a spring clean litter pick of the reserve.
