Biodiversity in Glasgow (BiG) Project

The Biodiversity in Glasgow (BiG) project was set up in 2007 by BTO Scotland, in partnership with Butterfly Conservation Scotland (BCS). The main aim was to record the birds, butterflies and habitats of Glasgow City green spaces using trained local volunteers. The information was used to identify the habitat features of importance to the bird and butterfly communities in Glasgow. The output of the project, therefore, not only informs the management for biodiversity within urban green spaces within Glasgow but within other Scottish cities as well.
