Fantastic time at Rottal Estates for our staff awayday! Fascinating learning about the estate's hydro scheme, land management and flood alleviation work. Huge thank you to the team at Rottal for taking the time to show us around the estate and taking care of us!

Great couple of days with staff team & our vice chair ops Dee Ward on Rottal Estates. Lots of wildlife spotting as well as team building & upland management discussions.

As snow starts to fall on the Estate, the coats of our Mountain Hares are beginning to change from brown to white to help them keep camouflaged! We spotted this one earlier this week who is starting to sprout some white tufts behind the ears 🐇 #scotland #wildlife #mountainhares

New report out today! 🌍Key message: the overall UK farm budget needs to be much larger, a larger share of this needs to be allocated to Scotland than now and the Scottish Government must spend it on supporting nature and climate friendly farming.

"We need to be more fully engaged with the natural world during our studies and more fully engaged with the social world in sharing our findings". Nice one Financial Times More of this please.
