We work to implement and offer support to conservation programs appropriate to the maintenance of sustainable populations of key plant species and pollinators through consultation with appropriately qualified external authorities on matters relating to conservation, biodiversity and sustainability. Our mission is to promote the conservation, biodiversity and sustainability of Islay’s plants and wildlife by means of grants and memberships to the benefit of residents and visitors of the Island of Islay.The Foundation has extended its subscriptions, memberships, project funding and engagement with local and national conservation groups in order to support its activities and contribute through its experience.Financial and proactive support of local and national conservation group projects included:Marsh Fritilliary Project: Long-term project with Butterfly Conservation Scotland to support the conservation of the Marsh Fritilliary butterfly, which currently has the highest threat and priority category in Butterfly Conservation’s Scottish Conservation Strategy. This butterfly is restricted in Scotland to the Inner Hebrides and has a stronghold on Islay. Education: Bursaries provided to three students from Islay. Courses funded are a BSc and MSci in Marine and Freshwater Biology, a BSc in Agriculture, and a Bachelor in Veterinary medicine and surgery.Botanic gardens: Funding to Botanic Gardens Conservation International. This has enabled them to do key projects such as work in Vietnam to conserve wild Camellia Dilinhensis Tran and Luong, and implementation of a Sensorial Garden in Brazil, amongst other projects.RSPB: Corncrake calling project. Working with farmers and crofters to incentivise delayed cutting or grazing of grasslands in corncrake hotspots. Designed to monitor corncrake populations, which reside almost solely in the Western Isles and have been in decline.Memberships: Memberships of conservation bodies including the Bumblebee Conservation Trust and Plantlife International.
Much of this year’s engagement and consultation with Islay residents, visitors and relevant local and national conservation bodies has been about scoping and developing current and future activities. The Foundation has maintained its subscriptions, memberships, project funding and engagement with local and national conservation groups in order to support its activities and contribute through its experience.Key bodies include: The residents and visitors of the Island of Islay, Islay Natural History Trust, Islay Development Initiative, Islay High School, Argyll College, Bumblebee Conservation Trust, Buglife, the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, Plantlife, The Botanical Society Scotland, Scottish Natural Heritage, The UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology.A new website was launched to inform the public about The Foundation.
