Brilliant news! Fossil grove is an incredible site, both scientifically and historically, preserving 330 million year old tree stumps first discovered in the 19th century. Wonderful to hear it's getting the attention it deserves, can't wait to see the results!
TV camera at the fossil grove today. Much excitement! Glasgow City Council has agreed to fund £450,000 worth of repairs to the building to help conserve the fossils for future generations to enjoy.. a big result for geoconservation!

A wet lunch break hunting for Wilson's Filmy-fern at Bracklinn Falls. This tiny fern hides away in bryophyte cushions on rocks and tree bases. No luck at this site, where it was last reported in 1990, but lots of lovely scenery & wildlife! Photo of Wilson's Filmy-fern from Mull

First colonisers #ByTheSea for #wildflowerhour - Glasswort (known as Samphire in culinary circles), Annual Sea-blite and Common Cord-grass. These pioneers are often the first plants to establish on open mud or sand flats, as well as brackish marshes behind sea walls.

The stunning Maiden Pink, found in Holyrood Park in Edinburgh during a #BSBI training workshop! Its neon-pink flowers make it a popular garden plant, but as a wild flower it has declined considerably and its range is now very fragmented plantatlas2020.org/atlas/2cd… #wildflowerhour
