Some colonists of dry stone walls in Argyll

In order to get unique pictures of rare species of bryophytes, fungi, and flowers that are located on different surfaces, we conducted several expeditions to the most remote regions. Such trips are quite impressive, you can learn more about the organization and support of this initiative in one of the interviews on the 21clradio.com.
