"Keeping our environment clear of rubbish and waste is detrimental.. .."

Beach cleaning serves as a great benefit to marine #environments and biodiversity.
#Scottishsalmon farmers and staff from throughout the #aquaculture sector continuously do their part, volunteering at various beach cleans around #Scotland. Beaches such as Greshornish on the Isle of #Skye by @MowiScotlandLtd, Scalloway beach in #Shetland by #ScottishSeaFarms , Raasay beach and others have been cleared of debris, cuts of rope, plastic, rubbish and even interesting finds like messages in a bottle.
Keeping our environment clear of rubbish and waste is detrimental for helping wildlife and the biodiversity that live there. This includes our beaches and coastlines around #Scotland.

The government has been consulting on the impact of the gamebird shooting industry on biodiversity and biosecurity.
Channel 4 News has obtained covert video filmed at just a few of hundreds of gamebird farms in Britain.
Those images reveal broken rules which could risk both the environment and human health.
A warning: this video contains very distressing images of injured and dead birds.

Planting trees in your garden or community is one of the best things you can do to boost biodiversity - with blossoms for bumblebees & other insects, berries for birds, and leaves for moth & butterfly caterpillars. And trees are great for people too!

Beside it is the Tigh an Truish, 'house of the trousers'. The story goes that after the 1746 Dress Act banned Highland dress, islanders swapped kilts for trousers here before heading to the mainland, and back again on the way home.

Please don't leave Halloween pumpkins to rot in your garden, or dump them in the countryside. Eating pumpkins can make hedgehogs, birds and other animals poorly. Instead, dispose of pumpkins in a covered compost bin or council food waste bin.

Remembering my dear colleague & friend, the poet Douglas Dunn, who died on Friday.

Last day at Sands of Forvie complete! We found a giant shellfish cooking pit- around 2m across and over 1m deep with at least eight separate use phases - around 0.5m thick deposit of shells extended from this pit for around 5m from the edge of the pit! Quite the feasting site!
