Our #SkiddawForest fundraiser hit £1million today...! 🤯 We're so incredibly close to securing this 3000-acre area of land for nature. Could you be part of this story? Donate now 👇 wtru.st/Skiddaw-Forest…

At least 1000 plastic tree tubes coming off the fell today. Great work as ever from our volunteers. @PlasticPollutes @EnvLeeds @DefraNature @ShowcaseCumbria

@MarcusHorgan @colinoutnabout Only acknowledgement was that there was some negative media which is the work of people with their own agendas and not in the interest of the John Muir Trust. Couldn't be further from the truth?

@MarcusHorgan @colinoutnabout Nothing because the AGM was online, questions only asked via Q&A function, could only see own questions submitted, and Chair chose what to answer and how with no opportunity for the questioner to challenge. A closely controlled sham.

A sad, but necessary read. The sad demise of Scotland's leading outdoor and rewilding charity. A must read for members before tomorrow's AGM. #johnmuirtrust tfn.scot/news/exclusive…

I've commented here before about the bad decision by the John Muir Trust to pause the #johnmuiraward. Turns out that is just one aspect of what's going wrong with the Trust. What a mess. Full details here tfn.scot/news/exclusive…

JOHN MUIR TRUST IN CRISIS jmtcrisis.secureserversites.net/document%3A-jm… Shocking revelations from this thorough and brilliant piece of work by Alan Macombes. Please read and share. Desperate change is needed in the leadership of JMT.

This is SUCH excellent news! @cumbriawildlife to restore wildlife and habitats on the iconic Skiddaw mountain. Fundraiser on their website well worth supporting. Massive good luck! theguardian.com/uk-news/articl…

Collaboration Working together unlocks so much more - especially in the often resource poor charitable sector. So proud of @Awards_Network as one shining example of this. ❤️

After 22 years today is @TobyClark's last day with @JohnMuirTrust. Backbone of the #JohnMuirAward, at the heart of the Trust's historic values of inclusive nature for all, hugely respected & appreciated by many, many groups & individuals across the UK. Definitely end of an era.

A legacy of @ClarkToby's 2 decades of work is captured in a May 6 Letter of Support from @Awards_Network, with the #JohnMuirAward accounting for almost 12% of all youth awards achieved by young people in Scotland awardsnetwork.org/news/

3 Having seen the departure of c. 10 senior staff members including all those that the CEO himself appointed, what gives the board confidence that the CEO will recruit and retain staff who can work effectively with him and wish to remain with the Trust? 5/5

2 Under the present CEO the Trust has been led into financial crisis, despite staff being told in December 2023 that finances were healthy. How has and is the Chair’s performance being monitored and appraised? 4/5

The @JohnMuirTrust AGM is on 14 September. Members are asked to send questions in advance to membership@johnmuirtrust.org Here's what I have asked and will be hoping to hear answers that give me confidence encourages me to support the Trust in the future. 1/5
