When asked, most people (72.4%) living near lynx in Norway say they LIKE living with lynx. Just 8.3% say they dislike lynx. In Scotland, where we're currently denied the opportunity to live near lynx, the majority of people WANT to see lynx reintroduced.

"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

Hi Barbara, firstly your oak sounds amazing. Thanks for the offer of acorns. I have been trying only to use seeds/whips from local provenance zones 203 or 204. Not sure where you are in the country. You could DM me.
