Young people are learning from wild Europe and having important conversations about rewilding Scotland.🌳 We’re excited to have launched a set of free classroom resources tailored for students aged 14 . Lesson plans, presentations and more are available in both English and Gaelic, designed to take students on a journey across the recovering landscapes of mainland Europe, and encourage thinking about how a wilder Scotland could look.

It's 10 years since the carrier bag charge was introduced in Scotland! Our incredible @mcsuk Beachwatch volunteers gathered the data to get the new law & are now showing its success - on average nearly 90% less bags on beaches! Thanks @STVNews - Now we need to move to reuse!
