Researcher at Earthwatch Europe looking at urban biodiversity, nature connection, citizen science, nature-based solutions, and Miyawaki forests 🐝🌳💃🕺🐜🌻
🌳 🌱 Nature doesn’t need decades to take root — sometimes just a few years and a little space.
That's what Jocelyn Timperley found when she visited some of the growing network of #WeeForests springing up across Scotland, by NatureScot and Earthwatch Europe.
