Abstract
In 2009, there were 76 sites registered on the Scottish Vacant and Derelict Land Register (SVDL) in the Falkirk Council area. These sites were assessed in 2010 for Open Mosaic Habitats on Previously Developed Land (OMHPDL) and 19 were identified as supporting this habitat. This contribution outlines the results of surveys for invertebrates conducted at 14 of these sites as well as at two additional brownfield sites not on the register, known locally as Roughcastle and Garibaldi Bing. A total of 266 species of invertebrate was recorded at the 16 sites. Since these surveys were conducted, at least 41 sites listed on the 2009 SVDL have been removed from the register. At least four of these are now recognised by Falkirk Council as sites for wildlife: Carron Works, Mungalend Bing, Bridgeness Road and Bridgeness Scrap. Descriptions of these four sites are provided together with an update on projects and habitat works completed and species recorded.
