SCOTLAND: The Big Picture’s Post

Scotland faces a triple crisis. Nature is in decline, climate change is knocking on our door, and both are affecting our health and wellbeing. But there is a solution: Rewilding. 🌿 SCOTLAND: The Big Picture is raising £25,000 to help restore nature, address climate change and improve our wellbeing. Through rewilding, we can create healthier, nature-rich, climate resilient landscapes. And thanks to the Aviva Community Fund, for a limited time, your donation will be DOUBLED, delivering twice the impact! Donate today: https://lnkd.in/dynpTff9 #MakingRewildingHappen

TOMORROW 🙌 We look forward to seeing you all at the #BigPictureConference in Perth, for a day of #rewilding learning and inspiration. https://lnkd.in/dB5FqVQ

The Northwoods Rewilding Network recently coordinated a day of practical rewilding with volunteers from Young Spirits, an Edinburgh-based bottling company. They spent time at Tombane removing non-native conifers and protecting young native trees. 🌳 Volunteers enjoyed a day in the sunshine, hearing from Hamish about Tombane's rewilding story, while taking the opportunity to reconnect with nature (and leaving with purple tongues from a feast of blaeberries!)

News of a Natural Environment Bill feels like a positive step forward for nature – the thing that underpins every aspect of our lives, giving us clean water, food, air and enrichment. Along with our friends at The Scottish Rewilding Alliance, we think there's a way for Scotland to be a trailblazer in nature restoration globally: by being bold and becoming the world's first #RewildingNation.
