    May 2016 Suzanne Burgess Saving the small things that run the planet Summary The John Muir Way, opened in 2014, stretches 134 miles through nine local authority areas including West Lothian. This B-lines project, the first in Scotland, has identified new opportunities for grassland habitat creation, enhancement and management along the route of the John Muir Way as it passes through the north of West Lothian as well as 1.86 miles either side of this. Through this mapping exercise a number of sites have been identified including 7 schools and nurseries; 3 care homes; 8 places of worship and cemeteries; 2 historic landmarks and buildings; and 1 train station. Additionally, 3 golf courses (73.8 ha), 9 public parks and play spaces (267.81 ha) and 1 country park (369 ha) were identified. There are a number of sites within this project that have nature conservation designations, including 23 Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation (496.37 ha) and 5 Sites of Special Scientific Interest (84.13 ha). A further 2 sites have previously been identified as having an Open Mosaic of Habitat on Previously Developed Land with a total of 34.7 ha. By mapping new opportunities this will aid in the future development of projects that will provide real benefits to our declining populations of pollinating insects of bees, wasps, hoverflies and butterflies as well as other wildlife that these habitats support. 1 Contents Page Page Number 1.
