SCOTLAND has a chance to be the swift heroes with a swift brick amendment going into the Natural Environment Bill curtesy of Mark Ruskell who’s an all-round good egg. Right now, you can help by using this e-action action.rspb.org.uk/page/181323/ac… and there will be more to follow…

The #NatureRestorationFund has come at a critical time and made a real difference, supporting hundreds of projects to take positive action for nature. We're proud to be supporting this vital work, building a nature rich and climate resilient future for Scotland.

On the face of it, a really poor proposed budget for nature from Scottish Government. Hopefully detailed analysis will reveal hidden reasons to be more positive.
