Mull's Nocturnal Magic: Reveal Nature Brings Biofluorescent Night Walks to the Island

Reveal Nature, in partnership with Mull and Iona Community Trust are bringing Biofluorescent night walks to the island on 23rd and 24th of March. An extraordinary and innovative experience, that is a rare opportunity to delve into the realm of Biofluorescence.

Through the use of specialised UV torches, the landscape undergoes a mesmerizing transformation akin to the fantastical world of Pandora from the Avatar movies. Witness spiders radiate in brilliant blue hues, leaves ablaze in vibrant red, fungi emitting neon green glow, lichens illuminating in orange, and flowers metamorphosing into a dazzling array of colours, shimmering and sparkling under the captivating spell of UV light.

Biofluorescence is the absorption of light at one wavelength followed by its reemission at a lower energy and longer wavelength by a living organism. It is usually a response to Ultraviolet (UV) light and comes in an assortment of bright and wonderful colours.

Reveal Nature offers exclusive guided Biofluorescent night walks in various locations across the U.K, where small groups of 10-15 individuals are equipped with their own UV torches and led on a journey to explore this magical phenomenon.
