Peat bogs store carbon, provide homes for wildlife, and reduce flooding. Help protect these beautiful places by choosing peat-free compost (and ask for it if your garden centre doesn't have any!) 🌿 #ClimateAction #nature #gardening

Apologies to #RobbieBurns for rewriting a classic poem. Beautiful #AftonGlen & local homes will be majorly impacted by #SanquharII turbines. Still, #climateemergency & all that. #SouthernUplands #Scotland #StopSanquharII #NoWindNoPower #SaveOurGlens

So whyohwhyohwhyohwhy are we destroying vast expanses of peat with turbines, tracks, pylons, quarries, infrastructure & more? How wrong is all that on a day when #windenergy is producing just 2.67GW power, less than 10% capacity factor?

A sustainable Scottish future isn't about yet even more wind turbines anywhere there's a gap; it's about considering our ecosystems, wildlife habitats, our interconnections with the environment & our invaluable #NaturalCapital #StandUpForNature

Proposed Euchanhead windfarm upto 20 turbines upto 225m high shoehorned in between Sanquhar I, Lorg, Whiteside & proposed Sanquhar II windfarms. Impacting on Euchan, Shinnel and Scaur Glens. Again....

How Peat Could Protect the Planet: Across the globe, drained peatlands are emitting billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide each year. Scotland has emerged as a leader in efforts to restore bogs to health. go.nature.com/2uClTPs Via @nresearchnews

Sanquhar II would be built in areas of class I peat; 25% of turbines & 11km track are at high risk of peat slide; approx 600m3 peat would be extracted where turbines would be placed #peatlands #StopSanquharII #NoWindNoPower

Please resolve to let the dandelions grow when they return this spring! Pollinators including bees, butterflies and hoverflies love them, and they support more than 50 insect species. No need to mow and ps don't use weedkiller. RT if you're on board 🐝

John Swinney predicted a green jobs bonanza of 48,000 new posts by 2020. The reality? 1,700 jobs. How do they get away with it?

Beautiful sundew! Found in the gorgeous peatlands where Sanquhar II is proposed.

Our #ecosystems #peatlands #biodiversity as well as residents' health and well being are being destroyed for no reason at all it seems...

Can anyone help? This is one amazing adventure fundraising for RNLI Mountain Rescue Lowland Rescue

How wonderful if we could do the same for the #SanquharII glens, community buy out to help climate change, reduce rural depopulation, promote ecotourism & all without a turbine in sight! bbc.in/3cXQZ4x

We are fighting #SanquharII, now we have #EuchsnheadWindfarm too 68 turbines 200 metre+ in our beautiful #Nithsdale hills #SaveOurGlens #StopSanquharII #StopEuchanheadWindfarm

Section of #EuchanheadWindfarm showing how close 230m turbines are to #SouthernUplandWay #ColtHillStridingArch #AllansCairn #SaveOurGlens #DumfriesandGalloway #SWScotland VisitScotland Visit South West Scotland

More& more during the Covid crisis & Christmas runup we see #windfarm online consultations & applications. Our communities are under pressure from Covid & limited rural broadband restrict getting views out there. Or am I just being cynical?

#AllansCairn #Covenanter memorial at the boundary of the #Euchan #Scaur #Tynron glens on the #SouthernUplandWay about to be swamped by 230m turbines #DumfriesAndGalloway #SWScotland #StopSanquharII #StopEuchanhead #SaveOurGlens #SaveOurHeritage

Our beautiful #Nithsdale glens and the #SouthernUplandWay in the snow - brilliant sun, wide open space, what more does a soul need? #HappyNewYear2021 #StopEuchanheadWindfarm #SaveOurGlens #DumfriesandGalloway

The next stage of our #StopSanquharII campaign is starting, & we need help to fund legal costs for a Public Inquiry. Please help if you can! Thank you from the eagles, otters, peat, skylarks and residents of our glens #Nithsdale #Scotland #SS2 justgiving.com/crowdfunding/s…
