threats to #nature and #climate are linked and must be tackled together, so it's really great to see the nature and climate crisis being recognised front and centre in the revised draft of Scotland's fourth National Planning Framework today.
I love a good ribbon cutting ceremony! Fab morning meeting @EasterBreich Wood Community Group and celebrating their achievements as they take ownership of their local woodland. All this is possible thanks to funding from the #ScottishLandFund ๐ฅณ
๐We are delighted to let you know that we have now completed the purchase of the woodland on behalf of the local community! We hope you can join us for a coffee & cake at the woodland on Saturday 23rd April to officially launch the community's ownership of the woodland.
"Scotlandโs fourth National Planning Framework risks a โbusiness-as-usualโ approach to the nature crisis rather than delivering the transformative change promised."

10,000 miles and 14 hrs after the event, the shockwave from Tonga passed through the Lomond Hills, registering as a small but sudden increase in air pressure. Limited comms from Tonga since, really hope theyโre coping with what is clearly going to be a horrendous situation.
We treat incidents in which women are assaulted or murdered as a random series of horrifying but disconnected tragedies, instead of a phenomenon that needs to be tackled with collective action. That starts with regarding violence against women as the emergency it is.
