August SWOG newsletter available here: mailchi.mp/swog/newslet... 🌳🦗🪓 #woodland #newsandviews #events

In this latest edition of the respected British Woodlands Survey, researchers want to hear from woodland owners and managers about their experiences, and of their hopes and fears for the future. Environmental change is already altering the ecology of our woodlands, affecting timber prices and productivity, impacting financial sustainability and more. Do you think some of these impacts may be positive as well as negative? Do you think you need better financial support or advice? What are biggest barriers you face in managing your woodland? Would you like to be better connected with others, could information technology support you better? This is your chance to have a say! The British Woodlands Survey 2025 (BWS2025) is now live and remains open until end August. Taking part is important for all woodland owners, forestry and land agents, forestry professionals, businesses, land-owning organisations, and others.

The wild service tree is the rarer woodland relative of rowan and whitebeam, appearing to germinate only in areas of ancient woodland, for which it is an indicator. It is found on chalk and limestone, but also on nutrient-rich clays. 🌳

A racket in the rangers’ hut in Beldorney made ranger Louise McLaren set up camera traps to find out what was going on. Look at these kits doing gymnastiques😂. Watch to the end to find out what’s for dinner. #cameratraps #nature #pinemartens #Scotland
