This #worldwetlandsday we are proud to begin a collaboration with Ponda - with an ambition to listen to the past and carry that knowledge forward with intention.
Look out for a programme of talks, blogposts, podcasts and more!

This bog asphodel plant is tucked into a damp, sheltered area behind a coir log, which was previously bare #peat 😍 It's the only one at the moment, but the cottongrass and sphagnum are spreading and creating conditions suitable for other bog species to become established 😊🌿

An extreme risk warning for wildfires has been issued by @scottishfirerescue.bsky.social .
Wildfires have the potential to burn for days, devastate vast areas of land and wildlife, and threaten nearby communities. Please do not have campfires or discard flammable material in the countryside.
A fab looking peaty poetry opportunity for young poets (14-25).
