An exciting opportunity to be at the centre of developing a sustainable, community and nature-focused approach to landscape restoration 🌿👇

Thank you Dundreggan Rewilding Centre for hosting Coille Coimhearsnachd na Comraich | Applecross Community Woodland! We explored Gaelic-led approaches to interpretation with presentations from Anna Macquarrie & Roddy Maclean. Very inspired to bring ideas back to Applecross

The Gaelic for marsh marigold is lus buidhe bealltainn, meaning ‘the yellow plant of Beltane’.

In the Highlands, its flowers were put above doorways or tied to horses’ tails to ward off evil spirits during this traditional festival of fire and renewal.

Happy Beltane! 🌞

A stable climate and nature-rich environment are vital for food production. Farmers and crofters should be properly supported by the Scottish Government to work in harmony with nature.

It's #NationalMammalWeek ! 🦊🐰🦇
With 1 in 4 UK mammals at risk of extinction, efforts to increase habitat connectivity offer hope. Each of the species shown below have been found at Dundreggan Rewilding Centre, a 10,000 acre #rewilding estate situated in the heart of our initiative area.

Trees for Life are working collaboratively with SCOTLAND: The Big Picture, The Lifescape Project and Ariane Burgess MSP, to positively build the conversation about “returning this missing keystone species, so that all sides of the discussion are heard and respected.”

For reds please record the maximum seen in the same spot 2-3 times a year! Report every grey.
