Yesterday our Deputy Convenor told the Rural Affairs Committee the key flaw in Scotland’s Rural Support Plan: a lack of large-scale recovery pilots allowing farmers, crofters & land managers to collaborate across landscapes. 🌾🌱🌳 Without pilots today, how will we know what works in 5 years? 🧵 2/3

Scotland is redesigning how public money supports farming and land management. But in our latest blog, Sara King of @rewildingbritain.org.uk argues that the proposed system risks sidelining large-scale nature recovery. 👉 Read Sara's take: www.rewild.scot/news-and-blo... 📷 @scotlandtbp.bsky.social

With Scotland's seabirds in crisis, protecting the most important areas for wildlife is essential to help our seas thrive. We'll be digging into the proposals and sharing more soon. Find out more and sign up for our campaigns newsletter to stay up to date: www.rspb.org.uk/scotland/new...

Great news! Scottish Government have launched the long-awaited consultation on fisheries management measures for Scotland’s Inshore Marine Protected Areas and Priority Marine Features. Effective management is urgently needed to protect threatened seabirds and other marine wildlife 🌊

Did u know?If you have Ground 🪲 in your soil,celebrate. G.🪲 are top insect predators,feeding on fly eggs/fly larvae/slugs, so it shows you have rich ecosystems; it shows you don't weed/disturb the soil,as G.🪲 need these to move round their habitats; it means you have a pesticide free garden.🌿🌱🇬🇧🌱🌍🪲🙌

A tree growing from a #tree 🌲🌳 This Scots #pine has found an unusual place to put down roots, on the upturned root plate of an old #oak. The raised ground may have given the young pine a safe place to grow, out of reach of grazing animals🌱

The magic of an Irish rainforest.

The silver washed fritillary evolved to lay its eggs in the bark crevices of oak trees. When the caterpillars hatch, they drop to the ground and seek out dog violet, the plant they evolved to eat. No oak or violet, no silver washed fritillaries. Get it? That's why native species matter: evolution.

Did u know? 🪱 are essential to healthy soil & we would have so much less life on this planet without soil. They recycle organic matter,by taking it down into the soil to eat;their waste is nutrient-rich which feeds the soil; their tunnelling creates air pockets that hold oxygen & water.🪱are 🤗 🌿🌱🇬🇧🌱🌍🪱

Did u know?Nature doesn't need *tidy*,it needs*messy* to live in/feed from/breed in. If you clip/trim this year,don't take it to the tip/burn it,because you're destroying homes/food for countless wild souls. Closed ecosystems are an enlightened way to garden & great fun to practice, too. 🌿🌱🇬🇧🌱🌍🐜🦡🕷️🦎🪱

Did u know? Seed heads, not only look beautiful, they are essential to wildlife friendly gardens. They shelter small souls during cold, wet winter months & they feed birds, like goldfinches when other food is scarce. So don't lop 'em off, leave 'em in situ.....Believe in *brown*. 🤎🌱🌿🇬🇧🌱🌍🐦‍⬛🪲🕷️
