It's a pricking out extravaganza at the nursery as all the Alpine Blue-Sow-Thistle and Elm seedlings have germinated. Our wonderful volunteers, Olly and Kathryn, were busy today getting all the seedlings in their own pots π± @NatureScot @ScotGovNetZero @TheBotanics

My collaboration with daughter for #WorldBookDay, we had to draw #superheroes, she has a bit of a fear of flies, so we made Super Venus Flytrap Girl...she does like Spiders because they eat flies.

Fascinating day out at Assynt earlier this week speaking about elm, Dutch elm disease and the west of #Scotland as a currently disease free area @scotforestry. However the disease is on the doorstep. How to we protect , mitigate and conserve - great discussion #nature #trees
