The #EasterBeltie pollinator gateway is off to a flying start! 🐝 🕷️ 🐛 🪲 🐜 🦋

Making a buzz! 400 native wildflower plugs planted today at #easterbeltie, with a few 1000 more in the next few weeks before it gets too ☀️ plus thorny shrubs and fruit trees to follow.

Utterly blown away that our film with @ScotlandTBP ‘The Beltie Burn: A River Restored’ https://t.co/Njj0tKsNS6 has 75,632 👀, 2.5k 👍 and 101 😀comments. Thank you viewers, commenters and likers - means a lot! #riverrestoration #naturecomeback

@BeckL76388162 @Riverflies @Buzz_dont_tweet Pleasure was all mine! Thanks for making this happen on the Dee, so delighted to have the project up and running 😀

[Susan Cooksley @SusanLCooksley]

What makes a great @Riverflies site? Learning from the best today @BeckL76388162 @Buzz_dont_tweet

[Susan Cooksley @SusanLCooksley]

Kicking off today! Citizen scientists on #riverdee are trained, kitted out and ready to sample. Thanks to #buglifescotland @BeckL76388162 for fantastic training & support. To @Aberdeenshire for funding the kit. And most of all, to all the volunteers collecting invaluable data 🙏

[Susan Cooksley @SusanLCooksley]

Thank you @NatureofScot award-winning @UryRiverPark for an inspiring day. Integrating wild nature, on a floodplain, in a town, with lots of visitors is no mean feat and you’re pulling it off brilliantly. Definitely a USP for @invbizco

[SCOTLAND: The Big Picture @ScotlandTBP]

Can we restore the vital interactions between river species for the survival of our declining wild salmon?

Thank you @DrUisge for the opportunity to talk to the @EdinburghNapier ‘management of aquatic protected areas’ Masters students about our river restoration research yesterday. Was it only last week we were sampling in the sun with @GBEcoScience?

[Susan Cooksley @SusanLCooksley]

‘Canada's Wild Forests’ with award-winning Canadian conservation photographer @photogGarth was absolutely worth the four hour round trip in sub-zero fog. Thanks @ScotlandTBP @CNPnature for putting on another fantastic @boatofgarten talk. Check out https://t.co/ixz0fptTU9

Who wouldn’t love to find trails that are ‘beaver-belly shaped’?

If you read one thing on twitter today, make it this. Brilliant. https://t.co/79yVg6CDpV

A big shout out to team #DeeWatch including Deeside’s rangers @MarLodgeNTS @nature_scot @Aberdeenshire @SNHnortheast @AberdeenCC plus @NEScotlandLBAP @JamesHuttonInst @RiverDeeTeam all expertly pulled together by @SallyWallis79 - thanks all!

[Dee Partnership @DeeCatchment]

Today we launched #DeeWatch - a monthly nature diary from the Dee catchment. It’s packed with information on what’s been spotted and what to look out for, and gives lots of expert tips for watching wildlife on #Deeside https://t.co/5e6v0UIUi2 Photo: Darren Dawson

Hadn’t heard of but now keen to read new graphic novel from @bryan_talbot & @EyeDotter tackling ‘the here and now of the environmental degradation that threatens us all ... pollution, climate change, moorland mismanagement..’. Out tomorrow @penguinrandom

Why & how we wrote the #CEN #FreshwaterPearlMussel Monitoring Standard. 6 years, 5 workshops, 11 countries, 40 experts and a lot of coffee! Read the full story in August's #AQC: https://t.co/Fv8GPPN2D0 #Margaritifera #FPM @Standards4EU @nature_scot @freshwaterbio @wileyecology

[ES James Hutton @HuttonES]

Significant £££ for two exemplary projects. Our @SGRESAS research is integral and will 1) determine environmental effects & 2) establish new monitoring techniques for #RiverRestoration. With @SusanLCooksley @JamesHuttonInst & @drjdodd @EdinburghNapier https://t.co/j1w6NZsqWu

Sometimes charismatic animals return of their own accord. Cranes returned to breed in NE Scotland a few years ago for the first time in 400 years & seem to be doing well; a regular, stunning & very welcome bird at some sites now. More please! #ThinkLikeAMountain

[Susan Cooksley @SusanLCooksley]

Looking forward to this!

[Grant Moir @cairngormsCEO]

Lovely programme showing the #Cairngorms this Sunday, September 29, at 8:30pm on BBC4 called #Upstream. It is #beautiful, #enchanting and will give you a different perspective as the camera travels up the #Dee to its source. Words in programme by @RobGMacfarlane. Can’t wait!

[Susan Cooksley @SusanLCooksley]

How will nutrient additions affect inverts in Dee headwaters? Lots to debate - one way to find out. Delighted to be joined by @markhamblin from @ScotlandTBP to document this @RiverDeeTeam restoration trial with @JamesHuttonInst @EdinburghNapier @drjdodd https://t.co/zuaW3mX8se

A packed house at the @ScotlandTBP #bigpictureconference

Filled with enthusiasm to be heading south to the sold out @ScotlandTBP #rewilding conference. A misty day in Perth but there’s a blue sky coming...
