(1 – 30 June) - a month-long programme of events to celebrate Scotland's amazing geology.
The year’s theme - ‘300 years of Deep Time’ - coincides with the 300th anniversary of the birth of James Hutton, the father of modern geology.
This painting from the Paisley Museum collections shows Furnace Quarry at Loch Fyne which produced high-quality granite that paved the streets of Glasgow.
This granite, formed 415 – 400 million years ago, highlights part of the vast geological diversity of Scotland and the important role Scotland has played in the development of geological science.

Huge boulders lie strewn in the foreground and rail tracks lead away from the light-grey rock face indicating the transport needed to move the heavy stone.

(25 – 31 May).
This is an opportunity to celebrate gardens not just as spaces for our own enjoyment but also as places to connect with nature.
Gardens are crucial refuges for wildlife. Acting as mini ‘nature reserves’ in urban areas they can provide essential resources – food, shelter and water – for species like hedgehogs, birds and insects to thrive.
No space is too small and there are many things you can do to help wildlife in your garden from providing a water source, planting nectar-rich flowers, keeping a ‘wild’ corner and eliminating pesticides. ��

Today is the International Day for Biological Diversity, this year’s theme is “Acting locally for global impact.”
Biodiversity is the foundation of a resilient planet. By protecting nature, we secure a better future for all. Every little helps, and collectively if we all do a little it will add up to a lot.

Today is World Bee Day, a day to celebrate these tiny but mighty insects.
Vital to life on Earth, bees are indispensable pollinators. They are essential to the survival of wild plants that support so many other insects, birds and mammals, and underpin global agriculture by pollinating over a third of the world’s food crops.
Yet worldwide bees are under siege by the combined pressures of habitat loss, climate change-induced weather extremes, pesticide exposure and pests such as the varroa mite.
Visit the Bumblebee Conservation Trust at https://www.bumblebeeconservation.org/bee-the-change/ to find out some ways you can help these unsung heroes.

In May 1812 Paisley born Alexander Wilson, known as the ‘Father of American Ornithology’ embarked on a birding trip to Cape May, New Jersey with his friend George Ord.
There Ord discovered a bird that was new to both of them. Wilson described and painted the bird, naming it the Cape May warbler in volume 6 of his book American Ornithology.
It’s fitting then that of the three UK records to date for this North American bird, the first was of a male recorded in Gleniffer Braes Country Park near Paisley in June 1977.��
