"the practice of muirburn actually made no difference to the extent of the Dava megafire.
Muirburn dries out the land by killing off the vegetation and drying out the peat, making it less resistant to fire. leaves behind lots of dead stems of heather which which provide perfect fuel”Prof D MacMillan

Thorn is the mother of oak.

Roe deer have nibbled most of our young oak except the ones protected by thorn such as with this we survivor in the bramble. 🌳 💕

Conversations about reintroducing lynx to Scotland aren’t just about ecology or economics – they’re about our emotional ties to the land and its wildlife. Could lynx help rekindle that connection?

Scotland’s landscapes are shaped by deer – and no one knows it better than stalkers. They see how deer bring life and when balance is lost. Empowering stalkers to restore that balance is key to tackling Scotland’s climate and nature crises.

The oldest pines here may well have had wolves shelter underneath them, time for their return to Scotland?

Ardura Community Forest, Mull 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 The Mull & Iona Community Trust engaged us to find out the age of oaks which had been felled in the 1960s when the Sitka spruce plantation was created by the Forestry Commission. They were mostly around 200 years old.
