The tree species we are planting are all native species, including oak, downy and silver birch, holly, hazel, alder, crab apple and field maple - to name a few!

Happy #InternationalWomensDay everybody. One of our all-time favourite photos from our Photographic Archive is this undated photo of a very young suffrage campaigner on the streets of Stromness #Orkney, taken by Robert H. Robertson early last century.
A special happy #InternationalWomensDayto all the quiet, invisible women carers out there, who day in day out provide love, complicated and exhausting personal care and companionship to people who need them. Society would crumble without you. ❤️🌟x
