Really interesting visit to Coulin Estate today to see and hear about their management inc some very effective Rhodie control and their pinewoods. The image below showing an area that was thick with Rhodies 30yrs ago and now covered in thick birch regen.

A great day for volunteering (in Volunteer’s week) to carry some montane Willows to Loch A’an with Cairngorms Connect. Cracking day out.

What links our Rum National Nature Reserve and the Red Planet? Amazingly, ancient rocks from the island are playing an important role in an international space mission to discover more about Mars (1/5)

A Krumholtz twisted Scot’s pine… that for the last 8 years or so seems to be growing a lot faster and more upright resulting in a very odd growth form. At first I thought the tree had fallen over.

Pretty cool original cuttings from ‘The Sphere’, 22 December 1951 about ‘Britain’s first nationally-owned nature reserve’ at Beinn Eighe.

Always worth the early start to count the black grouse leks. Particularly enjoyed the cock trying to get the aerial advantage by using the top of a pine tree.
