An exciting opportunity to further strengthen our working relationship with the RSPB, joint lead partners under the UK Biodiversity Action Plan for the Great Yellow Bumblebee.  The Great Yellow benefits from the management o a number of reserves, and through the management agreements the Society holds with farmers and crofters.  The RSPB does a tremendous amount of work with land managers, and has also carried out revealing research with Great Yellow Bumblebee.  Rob Sheldon, reserves manager for Scotland arrived for a chat, to draft an agreement for further partnership working.
