At the 11th hour NTS senior management have postponed redundancy consultation outcome meetings. Another week of anxious waiting for affected staff, but hopefully it means jobs can be saved. 🤞 #ForTheLoveOfNature support the petition to save NTS rangers: bit.ly/2B0sHJm

#ForTheLoveOfNature, we strongly agree with Julian Glover, who called for more rangers to help educate & connect people with nature on this morning's BBC Radio 4 Today programme (listen from 2:47:20). If you do too, sign the petition to save NTS rangers: 👉 bit.ly/2B0sHJm

We’ve been a bit quiet on here, as staff await news on whether or not they’ve been made redundant - a timeline that has since been delayed. It’s heartening to see that the petition has hit 11800 signatures! We hope this shows National Trust for Scotland & Scottish Government how much we need our rangers! 💪🌱🌳

A #mega #alpine #rarity and the jewel of #NTSBenLawers; alpine gentian (Gentiana nivalis). I was totally besotted with these today. I've been working here for ten years and this was the best #gentian #flowering I've ever seen! #wildflowerhour #montane #botany #alpinegentian

Another #mega #alpine #rarity and I've saved my favourite to last; snow pearlwort (Sagina nivalis). #BenLawersNNR holds the entire UK population except for 18 plants. It's threatened by #climatechange impacts so I usually do annual counts; hopefully again soon! #wildflowerhour

8 signatures to go before we hit 20,000!!! (In case you fancied a wee RT). The level of support for National Trust for Scotland countryside staff has been overwhelming - thank you all for standing up for Scotland’s nature and the people who protect it. 🌳🌊 #ForTheLoveOfNature bit.ly/2B0sHJm

The petition asking Scottish Government & National Trust for Scotland to save vital countryside jobs sits at an incredible 21,000 signatures. People care about protecting Scotland’s wild spaces. Will those who can make a difference listen? Or will redundancies be pushed through & Scotland’s nature be abandoned?

I'll be honest, I'm feeling pretty #stressed this weekend. Getting out in #nature with the #kids always helps. Today we visited the woolly #willow (Salix lanata) & downy willow (Salix lapponum). Cloudy, but that meant we saw a #brockenspectre! #montane #scrub Save NTS Rangers

News: it looks like @Scotgov financial support, along with the work of Prospect Scotland, has helped save about 200 NTS jobs - just under half of those at risk. The full picture of the redundancies is still unfurling, but public support has clearly had an impact so thank you all.

Countryside rangers have a educational role as much as anything else... a friendly chat with visitors can go a long way to ensure a better understanding of what is and what is not acceptable in the countryside. They used to be funded... that should again be a priority.
