Well done to our well organised friends at Woodland Trust Scotland on Saturday for #BigClimateFightback #EveryTreeCounts. Pleasure to join others in crisp sunshine at beautiful Kinclaven bluebell wood, and help plant the first 3500 native trees to extend this wonderful woodland.

Pucks Glen is a fantastic site even on a wet evening! Thanks for sharing these amazing photos @explorecowal!

We visited @CastleKennedyGs in #Stranraer. We met w/ @scotforestry, Blebo Tree Surgery + site owners to look at work done to conserve #tree health & improve visitor experience. It's good to see #biosecurity measures in place there. It's well worth a visit! https://t.co/yKp3ALZNNg
