What a productive day in our nursery and a big step forward! Just received an office container full of new equipment, the site is expanding and our joinery #volunteer Iain is back building pallet staging.

Excited also to be sowing Dwarf Birch Betula nana for the first time, the seed collected from one of our planted sites. #mountainwoodlands

Why plant aspen if beavers are just going to fell it? Because the same beavers sometimes seen as a threat to aspen are also the ones stimulating regeneration, by encouraging aspen to resprout, produce seeds and spread. 👉 Read the full story: bit.pulse.ly/aikyitdtaf #PaintingScotlandYellow #Aspen #Beavers

Great to return to Dalhanna Farm @NewCumnock and see their ongoing conversion to regenerative methods incl woodland creation. We're supplying upland species #aspen, Downy Willow (Galloway provenance) and Creeping Willow from the local Afton Glen

Spring is approaching and it was great to have our nursery #volunteers back to start propagation. Branch cuttings taken from montane Willow stock trees Salix lapponum/ myrsinifolia from Southern Uplands and root cuttings from Aspen stock trees from our national clone collection.

A few years ago we supplied Aspen clones to researchers from Umea University, Sweden. Now their paper has been published, investigating the genetics of European/Scandinavian Aspen. The conclusions are not what you would expect! Our summary is here: is.gd/7fdJx6

Arrest these fucking people.

A perfect spring day to start tree planting at Milgarholm Park, Irvine with @WoodlandWakeup delivering woodland activities. Big thanks to the #asylumseekers and youngsters for their efforts

We are delighted to have won a Scottish National Green Apple Environment Award to recognise our #Aspen conservation work. @TheGreenOrg

@EadhaAspen @TheGreenOrg Great news Peter!

We were blessed with a beautiful autumnal morning before the rain arrived to commence our latest native #treeplanting site in a delightful quiet corner of Renfrewshire. Big thanks to all our #volunteers #healthandwellbeing

Fantastic to be part of the end of project celebration @CoalfieldCLP yesterday in #Cumnock. Our #CoalfieldstoWildwoods project has planted 13000 native trees with 900 volunteers thanks to #HLF funding. Great music too! @TheCumnockTryst

Another day another celebration! This time the 1st anniversary of the Renfrewshire Climate Action Hub #RenCAN. They have been great support connecting us with new groups to help in our #treeplanting #climateaction

@ronniecowan Wee film with Diarmid Harris to go with that article Ronnie. vimeo.com/1046546570?ts=…

Major plans unveiled to transform vacant site in Lochwinnoch. The plan would see the site within Muirshiel Country Park turned into a "thriving wildlife haven" and enterprise hub through a community-led buy-out. glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/25506798.…

@FClydeMuirshiel @rencan Bring on the Highland coos!
