The weekend is almost over and it hasn't rained much. Plenty of clouds about but nothing happening.
Last night I had a good look at the Scottish Woodland Alliance at www.lairdswood.org.uk - and here's a quote from their home page: "A major funding pledge from Lochaber Highland Estates (CI) Ltd will enable up to 1,000 hectares of new woodland to be created in Scotland over the next ten years. The SWA vision is based on a 200 year timescale to benefit future generations as the trees mature over this century and beyond."
In Australia there are many areas of forest, and particularly old forest, which are or have been under threat for some time. What we Aussies didn't realise is how little ancient forest is left in Scotland. 1%!
I have a lot more to read and have long finished my tea, so I'm off.
