So lovely to see the young plants in our #montane #willow seed stand planted last month at #Corrour looking very healthy ready for the summer. The #catkins are being visited by #hoverflies & #bumblebees, & we could even get some seed this year! #DownyWillowSeedStand #montanescrub
They're here! Our very own precious Downy Willow (Salix lapponum) cuttings from #Corrour ready for planting in our montane willow seed stand! 🤗🥰🤩💪@treesforlifeuk #DownyWillowSeedStand #montanescrub #restoration #treeplanting
Ground prep under way ready for assembling our first #montane #willow seed stand at #Corrour. I'm so excited to get our precious rare plants in the ground for upscaling #restoration action! 🤗🤩 @treesforlifeuk #DownyWillowSeedStand #montanescrub #mountainwoodland

Updating my stock presentation slides for some upcoming talks & I'm feeling super positive despite having a very busy & complex diary! So to spread that positivity, here's some photos of our #conservation & #NatureRecovery action at #Corrour! #AzureHawker #tallherbs #montanescrub

In December I published an article in the @AlpineGardenSoc journal Alpine Gardener celebrating the work to restore #arctic-#alpine willow scrub & montane #TallHerb habitats at #NTSBenLawers @N_T_S. PDF available to read here: researchgate.net/publication/37… #montanescrub #restoration
A bit of #montanescrub (probably Salix lapponum) clinging on at the head of the glen, just over the watershed from Corrie Fee
Monthly monitoring of my montane willow #regeneration experiment plots @BenLawersNNR for my #PhD @StirlingScience. Great to get out doing #fieldwork & record the seedlings' progress since their germination last summer 🤩🤗 #montanescrub #restoration
Great to see the high-altitude tree planting by @treesurv in remote Garbh Coire @MarLodgeNTS in the #Cairngorms. Several hours walk to get here! The Downy Willow (Salix lapponum) are thriving & will enhance + connect existing populations. #NTSBotanyWeek #montanescrub #restoration
Fantastic day with the Mountain Woodland Action Group (@MontaneWoodland) on a fieldtrip to Glen Lochay. Visiting native woodland #restoration, & gorgeous botanically rich #montanescrub habitat. We're very at home holding animated discussions on vegetated cliff ledges ☺️🤩
Lovely trip to the @treesforlifeuk tree nursery at Dundreggan to drop off our #Corrour montane willow seed I collected today. Amazing to see our seedlings from last year’s seed going strong, & the cuttings we are growing on for our seed orchards! 🤩😍 #montanescrub #restoration
Stunned by how early the vegetation is developing on the hill this year. The Downy Willow catkins at my #PhD fieldsite @BenLawersNNR are already setting seed - 2 weeks earlier than usual! 🤯😱 #montanescrub #restoration #phenology
During this current dry weather, the mountain vegetation on @BenLawersNNR is getting some respite in the form of dew from early morning cloud inversions. However, it doesn't stop me worrying about the impact of drought, particularly on our peatland habitats 😟🥵 #montanescrub
Mossy #Saxifrage (Saxifraga hypnoides) is a lovely upland flower which grows well in both shaded & well-lit aspects. It is very at home among the restored montane scrub at @BenLawersNNR! #wildflowerhour #botany #montanescrub
Out east today in the #Cairngorms & enjoying the upland #pinewood & #regeneration at Invereshie & Inshriach National Nature Reserve. I’m going to have to return with more time to get up to the #montanescrub & Krummholz zone! 🤩
Best place to be in this weather is up a mountain! #fieldwork @BenLawersNNR #PhDLife #PhDChat #montanescrub #scorchio 😎☀️
Among the first plants to bloom up on my #PhD #research mountain field site @BenLawersNNR: Early Purple #Orchid (Orchis mascula) & the real stars of the #montanescrub habitat #restoration Downy Willow (Salix lapponum) & Dark-leaved #Willow (Salix myrsinifolia). #wildflowerhour
Fantastic to be starting this year's #PhD #fieldwork season at the incredible #montanescrub #restoration site @BenLawersNNR @N_T_S! The Downy Willow bushes are full of catkins ready for my #research on #regeneration. Off to a good start with some exciting data collected today👀🤩
