ROTTENWOOD CREEK BRIDGE LIFE UNIVERSITY PATCH
We continue to encourage and support people to get involved in monitoring and recording their local patch or by joining us on field trips and joint recording events with TWIC. In our 150th year it is an honour to be recognised for the work of the many Edinburgh Nats who have been passionate about natural history and what we now call biodiversity. "I am delighted to receive this award on behalf of the Edinburgh Natural History Society. Reflecting on Edinburgh Natural History Society being presented with the Bob Saville Award, President Sarah Adamson said:
It has a remarkable heritage and its old journals, which can be accessed online, give a unique insight into the people, wildlife and the places in the Edinburgh area.” It provides a range of opportunities through an annual programme of around 50 field trips and other events. Its work supports people who are active submitters of records and gives novices the confidence to start on that journey. This year we recognise the Edinburgh Natural History Society and its members over the last 150 years. “The Bob Saville Award recognises individuals and organisations who have made a significant contribution to recording and encouraging others to get involved. Presenting the award, TWIC Chair, Sarah Eno said: A silver quaich is presented each year in his memory to others carrying forward his vision. He was one of the best-known faces in biological recording in Scotland over many years. Bob Saville, who died in 2010, was one of the founders and inspirers of TWIC. The recent TWIC Autumn Conference held at Oatridge College on Saturday 30 November saw the presentation of the Bob Saville Award.
