Farmed salmon are bathed in the organophosphate 'Azamethiphos' to kill sealice. It is then released into the sea. It is a; 'mutagen, neurotoxicant acetyl cholinesterase inhibitor, its highly toxic to birds aquatic invertebrates, moderately toxic to fish.'☠️ #Offthetable

Why do many of our European neighbours love their #wildflowers and #verges yet in Wales and UK we all too often decimate them? Wildflowers are left to grow by paths and verges in Switzerland. Full of bees and crickets. We need total mind shift in UK to back what we've lost.

Political parties, we need change. Only 2 houses available to rent within '40' miles of Ullapool (in reality 44 and 76 miles from Ullapool). People cant live and work in the Highlands if there are no homes. @MareeToddMSP @liusaidhbeattie @RhodaGrant @1edmountain @Douglas4Moray

Nice to see the gorse I grew from seed a few years ago flowering for the first time. Gorse is a great ‘nursery’ for young trees protecting them from grazers and browsers. At the moment I’m using tree guards but once the gorse is big enough I’ll be able to plant trees within it.

I’ve signed the Rewilding Nation Charter and joined the call for 30% of Scotland’s land and seas to be committed to rewilding, for the benefit of nature, climate and people. Will you add your voice?: bptemrf5lmf.typeform.com/rew…

1/3 Right now this Isle of Man scallop dredger is legally ploughing up and down in the sound of Jura. It and two others are at it day and night, filling their boots before the seasonal closure starts on the 1st of April. The damage they cause can take decades to recover.

Scotland's tiny population of wild boar – or 'feral pigs' – generates significant debate. Some people feel they create damage; others value their ecological role. Meanwhile, Europeans live alongside millions of boar.

A great way to get more trees in the farming landscape providing additional browsing and health benefits to livestock. Simple and effective.

Habitat builders!
Lads from the Park Woodland Team on farm filling enclosures with a mix of trees and shrubs.
The rabbit netted enclosures allow hawthorn, blackthorn etc to be planted without plastic spirals.
That 5x5m area will form a copse of 120 plants; in time fence will be removed.
Part of the 5,100 trees and shrubs being planted here right now.
