Thinking back to 3 years ago when I was unemployed, nervously preparing a job application & uncertain what the future held. So grateful for the opportunities that have followed! 🤗

Lovely carpets of deep red (Arctostaphylos alpinus) on Ben Hope this week. A classic plant of exposed upland heaths that I never tire of seeing! 🤗

Use what talents you possess
The woods would be very silent
If no birds sang
Except those that sang best.
Because someone else can sing well doesn't mean you shouldn't
Sing your own song
Because other people are clever doesn't mean you can't
Write your own
Do your research

Checked out the stand at Ceannabeinne, Durness, today. Viewed from below as the weather was way too stormy to venture out onto the steep exposed slope where the trees are growing out of reach of large herbivores. 😱💨🌊

Twinflowers are one of our rarest pinewood flowers.

Its scent gives it its common Scandinavian names, 'perfume flower' and 'little lily-of-the-valley'.

However, the twinflower doesn't have an MSP . Can you help us find one?

There's a lovely remnant to be found on the slopes of Ben Loyal. These trees are showing just how well they can grow in this far north mountain environment, & highlighting the potential for us to have more habitat in Scotland.

Ben Loyal today & a 15km round trip up an atypical route for 'experienced mountaineers only'. Well at 7 & 9 years old maybe they already are, because I was struggling to keep up with their pace! Super effort kids 🥰 💪
