The #EasterBeltie pollinator gateway is off to a flying start! 🐝 🕷️ 🐛 🪲 🐜 🦋
Making a buzz! 400 native wildflower plugs planted today at #easterbeltie, with a few 1000 more in the next few weeks before it gets too ☀️ plus thorny shrubs and fruit trees to follow.

Utterly blown away that our film with @ScotlandTBP ‘The Beltie Burn: A River Restored’ youtu.be/tWCQVU4_UvQ?si=qclC… has 75,632 👀, 2.5k 👍 and 101 😀comments. Thank you viewers, commenters and likers - means a lot! #riverrestoration #naturecomeback
Kicking off today! Citizen scientists on #riverdee are trained, kitted out and ready to sample. Thanks to #buglifescotland @BeckL76388162 for fantastic training & support. To @Aberdeenshire for funding the kit. And most of all, to all the volunteers collecting invaluable data 🙏
Thank you @NatureofScot award-winning @UryRiverPark for an inspiring day. Integrating wild nature, on a floodplain, in a town, with lots of visitors is no mean feat and you’re pulling it off brilliantly. Definitely a USP for @invbizco

Can we restore the vital interactions between river species for the survival of our declining wild salmon?

Thank you @DrUisge for the opportunity to talk to the @EdinburghNapier ‘management of aquatic protected areas’ Masters students about our river restoration research yesterday. Was it only last week we were sampling in the sun with @GBEcoScience?
‘Canada's Wild Forests’ with award-winning Canadian conservation photographer @photogGarth was absolutely worth the four hour round trip in sub-zero fog. Thanks @ScotlandTBP @CNPnature for putting on another fantastic @boatofgarten talk. Check out garthlenz.com
Who wouldn’t love to find trails that are ‘beaver-belly shaped’?

A big shout out to team #DeeWatch including Deeside’s rangers @MarLodgeNTS @nature_scot @Aberdeenshire @SNHnortheast @AberdeenCC plus @NEScotlandLBAP @JamesHuttonInst @RiverDeeTeam all expertly pulled together by @SallyWallis79 - thanks all!
Today we launched #DeeWatch - a monthly nature diary from the Dee catchment. It’s packed with information on what’s been spotted and what to look out for, and gives lots of expert tips for watching wildlife on #Deeside deepartnership.org Photo: Darren Dawson
Hadn’t heard of but now keen to read new graphic novel from @bryan_talbot & @EyeDotter tackling ‘the here and now of the environmental degradation that threatens us all ... pollution, climate change, moorland mismanagement..’. Out tomorrow @penguinrandom

Significant £££ for two exemplary projects. Our @SGRESAS research is integral and will 1) determine environmental effects & 2) establish new monitoring techniques for #RiverRestoration. With @SusanLCooksley @JamesHuttonInst & @drjdodd @EdinburghNapier hutton.ac.uk/news/funding-bo…
Our latest #RiverRestoration projects are in today’s @pressjournal. With support from @nature_scot’s Biodiversity Challenge Fund @DeeCatchment will remeander 2km of river & create extensive wetlands, while @RiverDeeTeam will plant 10,000+ trees #NatureNow pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/new…

Sometimes charismatic animals return of their own accord. Cranes returned to breed in NE Scotland a few years ago for the first time in 400 years & seem to be doing well; a regular, stunning & very welcome bird at some sites now. More please! #ThinkLikeAMountain
How will nutrient additions affect inverts in Dee headwaters? Lots to debate - one way to find out. Delighted to be joined by @markhamblin from @ScotlandTBP to document this @RiverDeeTeam restoration trial with @JamesHuttonInst @EdinburghNapier @drjdodd deepartnership.org/news/17-j…
Filled with enthusiasm to be heading south to the sold out @ScotlandTBP #rewilding conference. A misty day in Perth but there’s a blue sky coming...

Watching @BBCCountryfile and planning my @Love_plants #nectarinspector survey but results will be poor on the new lawn - lots of work needed to introduce nutrient tolerant wildflowers plantlife.org.uk/everyflower… #everyflowercounts #NoMowMay
