Scottish Autumn Gathering 2023 | Butterfly Conservation

On 7th October 2023, Butterfly Conservation hosted an Autumn Gathering event for our supporters in Scotland. The event was held in Perth and broadcast online, and this video is a recording of that online broadcast. The sound quality of this recording is not as clear as we would like, but we hope you can follow it. The event was chaired by BC Trustee Apithanny Bourne, and was supported by funding from Butterfly Conservation, our three Scottish branches, and NatureScot.
