Very grateful to live close to the North Edinburgh Path Network. I walk there pretty much every single day, it's so important for my #mentalhealth to experience some nature. This was the scene at lunchtime today. Israel has destroyed at least 800,000 olive trees in the occupied West Bank.
“I hugged the olive tree… I’d raised the tree like my child.” On November 27, 2005, a Palestinian woman was photographed hugging an olive tree after it was attacked by Israeli settlers. #AlleyCropping - planting rows of trees in fields - can support #pollinators, reduce flooding and #SoilErosion and provide an extra harvest of fruits, nuts or wood products. It's just one type of #Agroforestry that can benefit farms.

Autumnal scene of young Scots pine and their "grannies" at our Beinn Eighe National Nature Reserve. UK forests face “catastrophic ecosystem collapse” within the next 50 years due to multiple threats including disease, extreme weather and wildfires. Ash dieback alone will kill up to eight out of 10 ash trees
Scotland has 8% of the UK population but 60% of the trees.
Scotland has 8% of the UK population but 76% of the new tree planting. It's English forests that are heading for “catastrophic ecosystem collapse” within the next 50 years Mike Hudema @MikeHudema
Costa Rica, once home to rampant logging, has now almost doubled the size of its rainforest. They turned it all around within a generation. It can be done. Alan Watson Featherstone @AlanWatsonFeat1
An absolutely fabulous day in Glen Affric today, with early morning mist, beautiful autumn colours on the birch trees, perfect reflections in Loch Beinn a'Mheadhoin in the absence of any wind & a great sense of peace & beauty everywhere |
