Our team sprang into action, unpacking 1,785 bottles of Malaise trap samples from Madagascar. For now, the samples are securely stored in our -20°C freezers. Soon, we'll DNA barcode the contents to uncover the species hidden within!

🚨 We’re sad to announce that #StormÉowyn has caused severe damage across our Gardens.

At #Edinburgh, 15 trees have been lost – either uprooted or damaged beyond recovery. This includes the Garden’s tallest tree, the 29-metre Cedrus deodara, planted in 1859 👇
