@Marcpalahi @europeanforest @circbioalliance Congratulations Marc! Sorry you'll be leaving EFI, you've done great work there. Hopefully we can reconnect once you're settled into the new role. Good luck with the move!

@gibbsgirl21 Lorna I'm so, so sorry. Sending loads of love

@WoollyMaggot @finlandinuk 'Cos they taste better! (or maybe the burning fingers are like micro-saunas for your hands??!)

[Jo O'Hara @mrsjo]

@Marcpalahi @circbioalliance Fantastic that the #bioeconomy is being recognised in all this (and particularly forests!). Great stuff Marc.

.@ScotForestry is to support up to 10 places on @TheICF Emerging Leader programme. @MairiMcAllan welcomed the move saying it is “helping to develop a strong and collaborative network of forest leaders in Scotland.” Applications welcomed by 30th Sept https://t.co/Cdv0qG1YXD

@ColinEd48757415 @ScotlandBds @ForestryLS These are absolutely beautiful Colin... thanks for sharing

@eleanormharris Great thread Eleanor. This closure just feels so WRONG - completely contrary to the need for efficient small-medium scale wood-processing to support efficient, small-medium scale forestry. Let's hope it can be saved by someone who sees its potential.

@JonnyEcology @ForestryComm @DefraGovUK @ZacGoldsmith @hmallison2 @unepwcmc @andyheald @WoodlandTrust @TonyJuniper @CraigBennett3 wow - that takes me back!

[Jo O'Hara @mrsjo]

@ForestryLS Hooray! It's been a long time coming. 'Protection forestry' at scale in the UK. #naturebasedsolutions

@FlyingQuercus I'm going to have nightmares for weeks - my dissertation title was "the market potential for high-welfare pigmeat". I think the app is vegan 😳

[Jo O'Hara @mrsjo]

@Marcpalahi Marc I could almost hear your voice when I heard him say 'leveraging the bio-economy' yesterday! Let's hope this is really gaining traction now.

[Jo O'Hara @mrsjo]

@DouglasKnox @ktmcnl @scotgovireland @coilltenews Thanks Doug. Hi Katy! Would be good to catch-up as am doing lots in Ireland atm. Will DM...

@lwhemmings @andyheald @scotforestry will let you know. We had quite a few copies when i was there, but obvs with all the changes at Silvan House I'm not sure how many will have survived (or if anyone will know where they are!). Afraid I'm not gonna part with my copy!

[Jo O'Hara @mrsjo]

@FlyingQuercus reminds me of this one https://t.co/ScV4F9Gcul

[Jo O'Hara @mrsjo]

@scotforestry Really pleased to see this getting underway - it's a vital part of keeping the strategy grounded and real. Will be interested to see the outputs.

@GDRNorminton @AnnieLeymarie @DavidsonMagnus ...or maybe Twitter is just a dreadful platform for this kind of important, emotional, political, value-laden conversation😉...the pencil might be a better solution!

[Jo O'Hara @mrsjo]

@pippa_hackett Loads of learning from @tweed_forum on this - they've done tremendous work over many years in the Scottish Borders, including on the ecosystem approach and stakeholder engagement.

[Jo O'Hara @mrsjo]

@andyheald @NHS_Lothian surely you're too young!

[Jo O'Hara @mrsjo]

@TheICF Great work Shireen - getting the profession's voice heard in the right places. This 'quiet politics' may not get much coverage, but it's what eventually secures meaningful, long-term change.
