It was a pleasure to be at the @HighlandTSI Awards last night and to present the awards as part of the Board - a room packed with people doing phenomenal work 💚

A fantastic first workshop with us and @speybankstudio today - Forest bathing helped us connect with the trees and importantly ourselves, before a creative session making awesome texture themed pots in the studio!

Love the big old gnarly pines!

[Cairngorms Connect @CairngormsCo]

Above the timberline we come across gnarled Krummholz pines in @NatureScot’s Invereshie & Inshriach National Nature Reserve.

The German word Krummholz means twisted wood and perfectly describes these slow-growing, weather-sculpted trees found high up in the montane scrub⛰

Check out this recent report from @nature_scot on the need for school children to be more connected with #nature.

The report highlights how young people in #Scotland could be offered increased amounts of outdoor learning and play.

The simple beauty of nature can leave us with a deep connection to the earth.

"Have you seen the #rain?" - As a part of nature, rain brings diverse emotional effects to people and places. Designer Tino Yu collaborates with @GGzE, and is building (probably) the first public outdoor space for people to experience the rain, and more.

An open fire can quickly get out of control - devastating wildlife and local communities.

⚠️ A 'very high' wildfire warning for Scotland will remain in place until Saturday 10th June. Please avoid starting open fires in the countryside ⚠️

Taking time to slow down to notice & experience #nature is often something we may not have done since childhood. Often Forest Bathing participants comment on this. So today we encourage you to cultivate a sense of ‘Yugen’ so slow down & just breathe 💚#ForestBathing #ShinrinYoku
