We're at the Scottish Game Fair at SconePalace this weekend talking all things #uplands, from #soil #biodiversity to threats to plant health and #peatland. Find us in tent G12 in Gunmakers Row. GWCTScottishGameFair #SGF2023 #sustainability For more shorturl.at/vCOUZ
It’s getting busy here at the GWCTScottishGameFair - and we’re enjoying the visitors - including wee Pickle! Come meet our #ecologists and plant pathologists to talk everything #upland, from #peatland restoration to plant diseases and #Munro soils. We’re G12 in Gunmakers’ Row! #SGF2023
One of many great sessions at #GOFalkland from innovative #food systems to #naturalcapital markets. Struck by diversity of attendees and openness of discussions. Thanks to Stewardship for hosting
We're all set for Arable Scotland and you can find out more about being part of the conversations and what you can expect to hear and see by reading the latest SEFARI Gateway blog here: sefari.scot/blog/2023/07/0… #arablescotland #crops #farming #SoilHealth

Our ES James Hutton field team were recently at #Balmoral taking #peat core samples to measure #hydraulic conductivity. It can be a hard job just getting the equipment to site! But it will help us understand peat health and support our peatland team’s #science. #Fridayinthefield
BSSS member, Professor Lorna Dawson, documents her experience using a #BSSS loan box to help explain the importance of soil whilst exhibiting at Arable Scotland earlier this year. James Hutton Institute Lorna Dawson, CBE, FRSE, FRSA #britishsocietyofsoilscience soils.org.uk/case-studies/l…
Had a fun day on Ben Lui sampling some high altitude soil for the James Hutton Institute #MunroSoils citizen science project. The project aims to collect DNA from soil across Scotland's alpine zone to understand biodiversity variability & provide a baseline to track future changes🧪⛰️
Great to be part of the Mountain Heights, Hidden Depths Munro Soil Survey run by James Hutton Institute . My adopted Munro was Beinn a' Chaorainn from which I collected soil samples from 3 designated sample points. walkhighlands

It's great to have our #MunroSoils #citizenscience campaign featured on the recent BBC Radio Scotland Out of Doors programme. Hear more about the #Mountain heights, hidden depths project from 1:05:50> 🔊More: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…
I learned a huge amount recording this podcast on equine grass sickness. It’s a devastating disease impacting at least one in 200 UK #horses a year. We’re hoping to find out it’s cause and stop that toll. Listen to learn more. #EGS The Moredun Foundation
