Day 6 of the #ExeterRewilding field trip and we visit Seafield & Strathspey Estates Strathspey to discuss deer management, forest restoration, predators, capercaillie, rural livelihoods. Incredible learning moments in a stunning landscape University of Exeter CEC @StuBearhop Dr Dave Hudson @McIntosh_Aimee

When those like me & many other land managers are managing upland estates for wildlife and biodiversity as well as grouse shooting and obeying the law, it makes me absolutely sick & very very angry that some estates are still doing this sort of sh*t! 🤬 FFS THIS HAS TO STOP NOW!!

There are less than 600 #capercaillie left in the UK. Disturbance is pushing them closer to extinction. It is a criminal offence to disturb the #birds when breeding. This spring, #LekItBe & do not go looking for caper vimeo.com/812613738 #Cairngorms #NationalPark #nature

At this time of year, we typically see a rise in deliberate fires. Our crews do not come to work to be met by fire-setting or antisocial behaviour. We work hard every day to prevent deliberate fire-setting, but we need your help. ➡️ ow.ly/M7c250NCjFO

☀️ Water scarcity is back in the news.😓 The Spey is currently at 'Alert', but the hot dry weather is set to continue with things getting worse. We need more projects like our #DelliefureBurn project, which hold more water in our catchment. We need to 'rewet' our #floodplain

Every time we return to our Allt Lorgy River Restoration project, I am inspired. This project has brought so many benefits.🥳 For example, during hot weather, the deeper, cooler pools created as part of our project offer an ideal refuge for juvenile salmon and trout.

We won Scotlands Finest Woods Award 2023 🤩Congratulations to all the pupils Fordyce Primary School and a special thank you to our pupil who picked up our award today and to Will Anderson for all his support #SFWA2023

Huge congratulations to all the staff and pupils at Fordyce Primary School from me and all at Seafield & Strathspey Estates; a well deserved recognition for all the hard work you put into achieving this and impressing the judges. #SFWA2023 RSFS Scottish Forestry Institute of Chartered Foresters

While a genetic study with Royal Zoological Society of Scotland reveals new data about the diversity of the Scottish capercaillie population. 📸 Cairngorms Capercaillie Project
