Berwick Bank could kill more birds than any other windfarm on Earth, devastating colonies of Gannets, Puffins and Kittiwakes off Scotland’s coast. 🚨
We support renewables, but not at catastrophic cost to seabirds already in crisis.

A very productive session in Currie today, we had an extremely efficient team cutting back vegetation and raking, sweeping and clearing drains. We also had a small team wading to map Japanese Knotweed, and of course there were several dedicated litter pickers scouting around💪🤘

We're incredibly concerned about the welfare of two satellite-tagged golden eagles, Tarras and Wren, that have recently disappeared in Dumfries and Galloway.
