π Last call to help us 'free the trees' this Saturday at Kinclaven Wood near #Perth
By removing vole guards, you'll help reduce plastic waste and make sure the young trees flourish! Any helping hands will be much appreciated π

Hen Harriers and other birds of prey are still being killed illegally.
Enough is enough.
Join us and call on the UK Government to license gamebird shooting and help protect these incredible birds before itβs too late. π

Great discussion on This Morning, on the importance of outdoor learning, while acknowledging we need to support teachers rather than criticise, & that different children will thrive in different settings. Something we champion at workπ @pkcountryside.bsky.social @thismorningitv.bsky.social

North Lanarkshire Councillors this week rejected the latest "Europark" planning application which would have destroyed and fragmented ancient woodland in the greenbelt near Coatbridge.
We have been fighting this scheme in its various guises since 2018. π§΅ 1/2
The UK may ban #bottomtrawling within some additional #MarineProtectedAreas. After years of pressure, change could finally be coming. Weβve campaigned hard for this, we really hope the #UKgovernment will do the right thing. Find out more about this potential turning point here: tinyurl.com/k5banvpy

Brilliant news! At last, confirmation that the Govt *will* go ahead with the #NaturalHistoryGCSE π We have to get to know our fellow travellers on this planet again. Young people who know & love nature are far more likely to protect & restore it - as well as enjoying better physical & mental health

Absolutely loved the A Whole New World of Alan Menken concert last night! He explained people tell him he "wrote the soundtrack to their childhood" well it's true for me too. From the Little Mermaid to Little Shop, Newsies & Sister Act - it's just a joy to hear it all. π πΆ π

Whales CANNOT swallow people! A #kayaker was not "swallowed" by a #humpbackwhale, itβs physically impossible! Their throat is only the size of a human fist. Glad to hear the kayaker is safe! π tinyurl.com/urhzdzjb

The walk from the centre of Perth up to Kinnoull Hill and its tower was one of many we were out updating in the area last week. I can never resist snapping another shot here - incredible that this view is so accessible on foot from a city/town centre.

The planet is our foundations - break it and thereβs no point trying to build anything; itβll all just fall apart.
Bats and Newts deserve protection; theyβre also connected to everything else. Nature needs protecting. We need houses yes - but not at the expense of wildlife. π€¦ββοΈ
