Moments like this remind us just how much we have lost from our #mountains, but also showcase the huge potential for #NatureRecovery at scale. To revive a healthy mosaic of trees & open vegetation together weaving a vibrant tapestry of life across high-altitude landscapes. 🤗 4/4

Not only are Northern Monk @NMBCo helping us as one of the causes they support, they also visited (all the way from Leeds!) to help out on site yesterday. We had a great day planting wildflowers and removing spruce from regenerating woodland.

Our Autumn newsletter is out next week. It's got news of a new partner project, someone pointing at bog myrtle, lots of tree tube wombling and the opportunity to win a Northern Monk hat! Sign up here: mailchi.mp/1dd189bd3314/r… ➡️Check we're not going to spam/junk mail⬅️

Two different examples of tree protection here. First some recently planted #aspen emerging from biodegradable tree tubes. And hazel, now protected from deer browsing by a windblown oak.

A partnership led by University of Cumbria with Forestry England & Graythwaite Estate Estate is helping pine martens return to Cumbria. Supported through #landscaperecovery by Natural England Defra UK & @RewildingEurope & The Lifescape Project bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Our vol day this weekend was at the new plant nursery. We got all the juniper seedlings up off the ground for the winter & dug some new beds for sowing wildflowers for seed. A small number of tea-leaved willow also went as a future source for cuttings. Mountain Woodland Action Group @UBoCarbon
