Filled with enthusiasm to be heading south to the sold out SCOTLAND: The Big Picture #rewilding conference. A misty day in Perth but there’s a blue sky coming...




How will nutrient additions affect inverts in Dee headwaters? Lots to debate - one way to find out. Delighted to be joined by Mark Hamblin from SCOTLAND: The Big Picture to document this The River Dee restoration trial with James Hutton Institute Edinburgh Napier University @drjdodd deepartnership.org/news/17-jun-20…


Significant £££ for two exemplary projects. Our RESAS research is integral and will 1) determine environmental effects & 2) establish new monitoring techniques for #RiverRestoration. With Susan Cooksley James Hutton Institute & @drjdodd Edinburgh Napier University hutton.ac.uk/news/funding-b…

Why & how we wrote the #CEN #FreshwaterPearlMussel Monitoring Standard. 6 years, 5 workshops, 11 countries, 40 experts and a lot of coffee!

Hadn’t heard of but now keen to read new graphic novel from Bryan Talbot & @EyeDotter tackling ‘the here and now of the environmental degradation that threatens us all ... pollution, climate change, moorland mismanagement..’. Out tomorrow Penguin Random House 🐧🏠📚

A big shout out to team #DeeWatch including Deeside’s rangers Mar Lodge Estate National Nature Reserve NTS Former NatureScot account Aberdeenshire Council @SNHnortheast Aberdeen City Council plus NE Scotland LBAP James Hutton Institute The River Dee all expertly pulled together by Sally Wallis - thanks all!


‘Canada's Wild Forests’ with award-winning Canadian conservation photographer Garth Lenz was absolutely worth the four hour round trip in sub-zero fog. Thanks SCOTLAND: The Big Picture @CNPnature for putting on another fantastic Boat of Garten talk. Check out garthlenz.com


Thank you Jennifer Dodd 💙💧 for the opportunity to talk to the Edinburgh Napier University ‘management of aquatic protected areas’ Masters students about our river restoration research yesterday. Was it only last week we were sampling in the sun with Giulio Biondi?


Can we restore the vital interactions between river species for the survival of our declining wild salmon? Watch 'The Role of Wildlife' from the Creating #Riverwoods series: youtu.be/JK-55MMPojg Scottish Wildlife Trust BuglifeScotland

Thank you Nature of Scotland Awards award-winning @UryRiverPark for an inspiring day. Integrating wild nature, on a floodplain, in a town, with lots of visitors is no mean feat and you’re pulling it off brilliantly. Definitely a USP for We Are Inverurie - BID


What makes a great Riverfly Partnership site? Learning from the best today Rebecca Lewis Buglife


Kicking off today! Citizen scientists on #riverdee are trained, kitted out and ready to sample. Thanks to #buglifescotland Rebecca Lewis for fantastic training & support. To Aberdeenshire Council for funding the kit. And most of all, to all the volunteers collecting invaluable data 🙏
