More PCCP birthday facts: all #conifer #saplings planted are monitored - we #GPS their exact location, measure + label them, and note their health, while taking #biosecurity precautions, all to help inform ongoing #coniferconservation research. #perthshire #treehealth

Let's hope all those young oaks, Scots pine, holly and others thrive in their new home. Well done Eilidh, and other staff and volunteers @WoodlandTrust, who put this together.

[NTCS @ntcs_info]

Well done to our well organised friends at Woodland Trust Scotland on Saturday for #BigClimateFightback #EveryTreeCounts. Pleasure to join others in crisp sunshine at beautiful Kinclaven bluebell wood, and help plant the first 3500 native trees to extend this wonderful woodland.

PCCP is going to get some air time this year when it appears on BBC's Escape to the Country! I took their film crew out to the Hermitage and Craigvinean Forest to chat about #PerthshireCCP, my work + the area. 🌲🎥 #dunkeld #trees #conservation @PKCTrust https://t.co/INKinY5Gry

[PerthshireCCP @PerthshireCCP]

We were out at #Craigvinean Forest GPS monitoring 58 Serbian spruce (Picea omorika) and getting marvellously distracted by the views down to #Dunkeld. Worse ways to spend a day out of the office? #conservation #trees #spring #daysout #bigtreecountry #Perthshire

Recent 'bring your child to work day' fun with my special helper keeping me right on GPS monitoring of Tasmanian 'King Billy' pines. The next generation in more ways than one! Huge thanks to the ever-cheery Brian Cunningham @SconePalGarden too for letting us visit the fab pinetum

[PerthshireCCP @PerthshireCCP]

Out GPS plotting some of our threatened conifers during the recent visit of the 'Beast from the East'. Trees and GPS operative doing well...

Potting up Moroccan yew yesterday! Interested why it is threatened? Like Moroccan fir (https://t.co/L7WkazyExu) which it grows amongst, it's due to forest loss incl. for illegal cannabis growing. Our yew seeds came from the Riff mountains, near southern limit of its range.

Delighted to have taken over as new Project Officer for @ntcs_info and PCCP. Huge thanks to Tom & project partners for what's been achieved so far and the smooth handover. I look forward to working with you all and wish Tom all the best in his new ventures. Doug Flint
