Garden Moth SchemeNEW Spring 2008 Report

2007 Report, for GMS follow link www.gardenmoths.org.uk .

New Moth book - Chris Manley, DMG member, is producing a new book due out in November this year, published by A & C Black / Christopher Helm.  Illustrates over 850 macros, 500 micros, 74 butterflies, 315 caterpillars by around 50 photographers.  All 2250 photos of live insects.  Alan Titchmarsh has kindly written a foreword describing the book as 'Sensational'!  Price probably £19.99.

Moths Count is a partnership project led by Butterfly Conservation. The main aims of the project are to raise the awareness of moths, stimulate and encourage involvement, particularly in recording moths and to set up the National Moth Recording Scheme to gather the information necessary to understand and reverse the decline of moths.  We think that is very important for people to be able to find out about moths and moth recording in their area and to get involved with their local group. The Moths Count website can be reached on (www.mothscount.org).

NMRS Newsletter 1  - I have pleasure in attaching the first Moths Count newsletter. I hope that it is of interest.

 

We will be distributing the newsletter (by email wherever possible) to over 1200 people listed on the Moths Count/National Moth Recording Scheme mailing list and via other organisations. It will also be posted on the Moths Count web site.

 

In case anyone is unfamiliar with the .pdf format, you will need Adobe Reader in order to view the newsletter. This software is freely available at www.adobe.com/uk/  I hope that the size of the attachment does not cause problems for any recipients, but feedback on this and anything else to do with the Moths Count project is welcome.

Please feel free to pass the newsletter on or use parts of it in your own documents, web sites and communications.

Regards
