@Rolandforestry @forest_policy Glad you liked it Roland. I do a fair bit of this kind of thing when funded. See e.g. https://t.co/YW0HUam1u7

[Anna Lawrence @RandomForestInk]

My report summarising forest managers' perspectives on soil carbon and forestry practice - in their own words. I like this kind of research - helping stakeholders understand each other.

Just listened to Sarah-Jane Laing from Scottish Land & Estates compare grouse shooting to hill walking & golf on the BBC News at Six. When was the last time you saw a golfer shoot a hen harrier or a short-eared owl??!!

@DavidMundellDCT just voted to allow raw sewage in our waters https://t.co/gvMdr8Nn4D

[Anna Lawrence @RandomForestInk]

Affects Scotland differently: "Unfortunately, the ability of the Scottish Government to take strategic action in mitigation is hampered by Westminster’s control over capital spending."

[Anna Lawrence @RandomForestInk]

After the shame of voting against free school meals in England, he votes for sewage in English rivers.

[The London Economic @LondonEconomic]

What the main amendments were, the reasons given for rejecting them, and who voted to allow raw sewage in our waters.

@comsdivforestry @WoollyMaggot It's also about financial feasibility - thinning used to be considered unfeasible because you couldn't sell the thinnings. That's changed. So if the costs need to balance the income, that is what would affect the feasibility of manual thinning.

@andyheald @BlackIslePMD @forest_policy @makarneil @FlyingQuercus @timberinitiativ Hi Andy, the 40% ambition is the Scottish Greens' target. Our report considers ways to get there. Glad you like some of the ideas. Report a wee bit hard to find: https://t.co/y8YTih2TLF

[The Ferret @FerretScot]

Scotland needs to diversify forestry ownership if it's to become a 40% woodland nation, according to a new report.

"In the UK and Ireland many tree species like birch, alder, hazel and willow, thrive in the wet areas surrounding bogs. The wooded edges of rain fed bogs are some of the rarest and most species rich wetland environments known in the UK or Ireland" https://t.co/CN7KyUGCIL

@rajygoroc @wildforest_matt @PoliticsScot Not Forestry Commission land, as Matt says private land sold by Duke of Buccleuch. Scottish Forestry is the regulatory body (used to be Forestry Commission Scotland) which should have picked this up but didn't, partly because they are desperately understaffed.

Relocate beavers - don’t kill them. Allow these aquatic engineers to improve Scotland’s landscapes and nature. You can stop the unnecessary killing by signing and sharing this petition. https://t.co/CPr6TdRHxO #movedontkill #conservation #wildlife
