Explore Abernethy took part in  Scottish Biodiversity Week in May 2008 by leading a WILDLIFE WALK through the beautiful Abernethy Forest. Walkers learned about the creatures and plants that make up the  Biodiversity of the forest and were delighted to see Red Squirrel on the new Squirrel Feeders and a Dipper feeding along the River Nethy.

The Small Pearl Bordered Fritillary (Boloria selene) is just one of several butterflies identified at the Butterfly day in Nethy Bridge in 2007. This event was run in association with Butterfly Conservation. Explore Abernethy Bat and Moth Night in October 2007 was a great success. Visitors heard Daubenton and Pipistrelle Bats echolocating on new bat detectors, just some of the field equipment bought with funding from the Scottish Community Foundation.
