This time of year can bring a lot of expectation.
If it feels a bit much, that makes sense.
You’re still enough, exactly as you are.

Ask your MSP to act for Scotland's wildlife.
MSPs will debate one of the most important nature bills in a generation on the 19th of November.
Take action and make sure they back a strong Bill that protects wildlife, not weakens it.

Scotland’s land ownership is some of the most unequal anywhere in Europe, with around 400 people owning half our land.
This won't improve as long as the large landowners are allowed to keep buying up even more of our country.
