The Woodland Trust Scotland has captured the remarkable journey of two feisty male ospreys as they grow and eventually fledge.

Just say no to Peat. Bloody ridiculous that we are using it for our mostly imported ornamental plants (amongst other things)
Sign the petition asking the Government to finally end peat compost sales with legislation in 2026 - no more delays. It’s been a long and tiring road to get peat compost banned and we need your signatures and shares now more than ever to get it done. actnow.peatfreepartnership.org.uk/end-peat-sal...

No more delays: Let's get peat out of gardens once and for all. The time for uncertainty has ended.
