What a cold day for planting trees last Friday ❄️ This didn't deter the @StrathpefferPS 'Community Committee' who did an amazing job expanding our native woodland. Thank you! 👏 🌳🌳Trees provided by @TCVtweets "#IDigTrees - "3 million FREE trees. And growing." #biodiversity

@RobinPakeman That's a really useful long-term study Robin, thanks for sharing. I'm in the process of trying to diversify an area once dominated by dense rosebay willowherb by cutting twice a year. We are planting native trees as a longer term treatment so will see how it goes #noreplication

[Dave Genney @davidgenney]

I'm really looking forward to working with @CivTechScotland as part of the Challenge 8.5 @nature_scot sponsor team. #innovatefornature

[CivTech Scotland @CivTechScotland]

Challenge 8.5 asks how can technology help @nature_scot flexibly manage its understanding of the state of protected areas by making best use of available evidence?

I'm proud to have been part of this journey. This infographic highlights the tremendous amount of time and effort it takes for communities to deliver high quality green space projects #community #greenspace #Volunteers

[Strathpeffer Community Park @StrathpefferP]

Celebrating 10 years developing the Strathpeffer Community Park! So much work by so many volunteers. Thank you🎉🎉 #volunteers #highlandcommunity

[Dave Genney @davidgenney]

@BBSbryology Was that the capping layer as well as the food source? The article suggests it's this capping layer that's difficult to replace, not the manure food source? Great if so though 👍🏻

[Dave Genney @davidgenney]

I didn't realise quite how much peat is used in UK mushroom production. Thanks goodness funding is in place to explore alternative production methods. Continuing to use peat like this is not an option. @innovateuk
