GMFF-024 - For the first time GM4FFF will be working from Flanders Moss National Nature Reserve (GMFF-024) between May 29-30th.

Flanders Moss National Nature Reserve (NNR) is one of the largest areas of relatively undisturbed lowland raised bog in the European Community. Because of its natural heritage importance, it has been designated a European Special
Area of Conservation (SAC) and a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). Quite simply, it is probably the biggest and best remaining raised bog in Western Europe. It is one of the last remaining natural landscapes in Scotland and is home to many plants, insects and birds. It also tells a fascinating story of the social and cultural history of people living in this part of Scotland. There is much to interest people.

The team consists of MM0DFV, GM0WRR, and GM0EZP. They are going to contact the reserve's manager to make sure that they can have a place to stay overnight. T
