Delighted to be invited to watch this amazing Oyster Musical today! Well done P3C - you were awesome! And what you have learned is incredible. Be proud ๐ฅฐ @corstorphineps#restorationforth@wwf_uk
@Douglas_Fraser @SOSLeith@fingaledinburgh@WOLCT Douglas, there really isn't a lack of greenspace nearby. We put a huge wildflower meadow in at Victoria Quay a couple of years ago. That's 600 metres away. We'll continue to encourage people to do whatever they can for wildlife no matter what space they have. Every little helps.
@Douglas_Fraser @SOSLeith@fingaledinburgh@WOLCT Douglas the research shows that any food pit stops for pollinators are a good thing. 'urban scrag' or DVL is also recognised as excellent habitat: https://t.co/7nVU3hJukh
This month we have 4ha being down from Cramond to Granton. Good for pollinators, good for people.
@Douglas_Fraser @SOSLeith@fingaledinburgh@WOLCT importance of sea walls as habitat! So interesting! Here's a great document: https://t.co/OZ66twdIyf It covers lots of aspects of coastal biodiversity, but there's specifically stuff on pollinators in there.

Wonderful to get the opportunity to create a #meadow with #Edinburgh shoreline seed mix along the river at #Leith basin today thanks to @fingaledinburgh and @EdinburghShore1. The dock area does not have much greenspace and it vital to use what we can to help #pollinators.
With thanks to staff and volunteers at the reserve for leading the session. Here the pupils are experimenting with how different beak lengths can find food in the 'mud' (we used flour and water here).
With thanks to funding from @nature_scot we've been able to take an Edinburgh Primary School out to the RSPB reserve at Skinflats to see how the habitat there is different to Edinburgh and learn about the birds that call the firth of forth mudflats home.
The Forth Princess is an incredible way to see the Firth of Forth. So pleased we had a lovely afternoon to take out a group from Fetlor Youth Club. Even better with the Pentlands and Ochils covered in snow! With thanks to @nature_scot for funding.
We all know #nature is in trouble, but what can you do to help?

A pleasure to be at @ScotParl tonight at a reception to celebrate 350 years of @TheBotanics. Great to chat more about our work to encourage people to connect with our Edinburgh coastline. Happy birthday RBGE!
