Could anyone living in North Ayrshire please complete this one-questioned poll for a very minor part of a university study please? It is asking what type of woodland would you would prefer to see planted in North Ayrshire. Many thanks!

Just had reports that swarms of our bees have been hanging about the DA Hall. Apparently they thought it was a Pollen Place... 🐝

Thanks for the thought, but there is no risk to our plants from Covid. Try disposing of masks appropriately or better still, make reusable ones which are better for the environment.
