Woman in Wellies

I wish I had known more about land based careers when I was wee, so trying to raise awareness now. Learning lots along the way. Opinions expressed are my own.

British wool is an incredible natural resource and it’s great to see research finding new uses for it. Like the world’s first renewable tennis balls which will help reduce landfill... https://t.co/bU6yrnfxx9

Karolina and Jim from @LantraScotland recently volunteered at @willowgateacti2 on River Tay, tackling invasive species Himalayan balsam. The Centre is a charity which gives people a taste of outdoors, works with schools and runs tours. #naturebased

Well done to girls who did tractor driving course for 13-15 year olds in Ardersier recently with @ringlink , funded through women in #agriculture. Two are farmers’ daughters, the other planning career in agriculture.

@eleanormharris @FlyingQuercus @andyheald @NathanOAdams @forestsandwood @lwhemmings @PaulBrannenNE I want to get started on a 'Finding your Nature-based career' toolkit soon, as apparently I am addicted to making toolkits.

@eleanormharris @FlyingQuercus @andyheald @NathanOAdams @forestsandwood @lwhemmings @PaulBrannenNE Hi there, wasn't in the thread as my twitter-fu is very poor at the moment. Ta for add. This doc has recommendations https://t.co/tesFWBJYd2
which are worth a look. Personally I think Nature-based reflects our unique personality better...

@saos_agri_coops @LantraScotland @JamesRWithers @SmartRuralCoop Loved being at the conference today! Now to type up the flip chart notes...

A new course, accredited by @LantraUK should help land managers carry out muirburn to high standard. Muirburn is controlled burning of vegetation for new growth, often for grouse shooting, deer management or sheep farming. https://t.co/XiLqICUTUC #GreenCareers
