Vaccinating badgers

Keltneyburn, Scotland

A site in Perthshire proposed to the SPNR as a piece of ‘typical primeval country’, known for its scarce plants. Keltneyburn is one of the finest species-rich grasslands in Scotland, and is home to eight species of orchid. This site, which also includes an old curling pond which is a haven for insects and a steep wooded gorge covered with broadleaved woodland, is now owned by the Scottish Wildlife Trust.
