Save Slochy Woodlands 🍃💚🍃

A developer has been granted planning consent to build 7 luxury homes on a site with an environmental designation in Buckie, Scotland. Help us Save Slochy.

Around me the trees stir in their leaves
and call out, “Stay awhile.”
The light flows from their branches.
And they call again, “It’s simple,” they say,
“and you too have come
into the world to do this, to go easy, to be filled
with light, and to shine.”

Are you really though, @lornaslater ? What about Slochy? A woodlands being destroyed for 7 luxury homes. An important wildlife habitat gone. We are having to take the matter to Court. Money + Mouth springs to mind, and an entirely corrupt planning system.

Scotland has some of the most beautiful and iconic natural scenery and wildlife in the world, and we are putting it at the heart of our recovery. 🌍💚🌲 https://t.co/ktz9TctvKo

We have used our statutory right of appeal to challenge the decision of the Local Review Body in terms of this consent.

We have appointed Senior & Junior Counsel and an instructing Solicitor.

And there’s the small matter of a Protective Expenses Order.

We’re not playing.

Having just lodged our appeal in Court, we know how expensive this process is, but you can’t put a price of environmental justice. Please give what you can. #SaveSwanscombe

Good morning! ☀️
Please can you help #SaveSwanscombe
By helping to raise £10,000 with @CrowdJustice to get the much needed legal & expert advice - and stop this wildlife haven becoming a theme park?
Please retweet, thank you 🙏🏻🌍🕊🐝

We are still here, battling on. The Decision Notice for the consent has been issued and we have 5 weeks now to apply to the Court of Session to use our statutory right of appeal. Watch this space for further updates.

@fittick We couldn’t agree more. We’re in the same position:

[Save Slochy Woodlands 🍃💚🍃 @SaveSlochy]

This is the hard truth; the planet needs us to protect what remaining green spaces we have left; Slochy Woodlands is one such gem. We all need to make our voices and actions count.

Yet, Slochy Woodlands is still to be destroyed to make way for 7 luxury homes.

We haven’t given up on Slochy Woodlands; we’re preparing to go to Court. We want the nation to hear our case and learn of the corruption inherent within the planning process. #COP26 #ExtinctionRebellion #deforestation #saveslochywoodlands #ecocide #EnvironmentalJustice

This is it. At COP next week, we must deliver for the world’s forests. Our lives depend on it.
