🌳Last week, we were pleased to host a Woodland Habitat Impact Assessment Workshop (WHIA) run by @naturescot.bsky.social Nathan Berrie at Tayvallich Estate. IA valuable opportunity to introduce a simplified methodology for assessing the impacts of grazing herbivores on woodland habitat: ‘WHIA Lite’.

🦪 Marine rewilding. Last week we shared the story of how, even in protected waters, nature is in decline. If you missed the films, we’ve now brought them together into one story. ▶️ Watch the full film here: youtu.be/q3JNNnV5xr0 #MarineRewilding #NativeOysters

🦪 How can we bring back native oysters? In the final film of our oyster series, David Smyth, Highlands Rewilding’s Marine Rewilding Lead, shares how we can help native oysters return to Loch Sween, where recent years have seen a dramatic decline in their population and habitat. #MarineRewilding

🦪 What happened to the native oysters? In part two of our series, marine biologist David Smyth, Highlands Rewilding’s Marine Rewilding Lead, explores the devastating decline of native oysters at Loch Sween, likely due to unregulated harvesting. 👉 Do you have a story about oysters near you?

We are afraid the butterflies are not alone - native oysters are in trouble too but, as with the butterflies, hope is not lost. 📽️ Watch the 1st of 3 film here: bsky.app/profile/high... #Rewilding #Butterflies #NativeOysters #Biodiversity #NatureRecovery #MarineConservation #HopeInAction

🌊 Where are all the oysters? Can a Marine Protected Area still fail its most iconic species? In this first of three short films, marine biologist David Smyth, Highlands Rewilding’s Marine Rewilding Lead, takes us along the shore and below the waves of Loch Sween to reveal a troubling truth.

Farming and rewilding are often seen as opposites. But what if they could work together to restore nature? At Highlands Rewilding, we’re demonstrating how regenerative agriculture can be a powerful tool for ecosystem restoration. #RegenerativeAgriculture #Biodiversity #SustainableFarming #Rewilding

Healthy forests start from the ground up! 🌱🌳 As we work to restore Scotland’s precious Atlantic rainforest, understanding the soil beneath our feet is just as important as the trees we plant. Soil surveys guide our rewilding efforts—ensuring the right trees are planted in the right places.

A tiny triumph for rewilding! 🐜🌿 Last spring, we carefully translocated wood ants to help restore ecosystem balance on Bunloit estate. Many of you followed their journey—now, after a long winter, how have they fared? #Rewilding #Biodiversity #EcosystemRestoration #WoodAnts #WorldRewildingDay

Spring is in the air🌿🦡🔊 Sound on for a glimpse into nocturnal badger life. Our camera traps captured the sights and sounds of the mating season, followed by grass and leaf collection for nest building. A true sign that spring has arrived in the wild! #Badgers #Wildlife #Rewilding #SpringAwakening

On #WorldWildlifeDay, it's wonderful to share some of the extraordinary fauna we have captured on film over Highlands Rewilding estates. Even though Scotland is one of the most nature depleted counties in Europe we are lucky enough to have some fantastic wildlife to protect and help restore. #nature

Did you know a hectare of #seagrass will trap carbon up to 35% quicker than a hectare of rainforest?🤔 David Smyth, marine rewilding lead at Highlands Rewilding, explores how this habitat supports a high level of biodiversity, acts as a coastal buffer for storms, and can sequester carbon quickly.

🪹 Made from Bunloit's non-native conifers, these nest boxes are being installed and monitored to collect data on the breeding success of different bird species 🐦 feeding into wider data-gathering on the effect of environmental change on the number of fledglings birds can rear. #NationalNestBoxWeek

🔊Sound On🔊 One of the interesting things about camera trap footage is being able to observe animal behaviour 👀. Here we have two yearling sika deer rutting. This could be practice rutting, brought on by elevated testosterone levels at this time of year (December footage). #rewilding #nature #deer

With current consultation on whether biodiversity credits could be implemented in the Woodland Carbon Code and Peatland Code, now is the time to consider if OSPREY could help you consider the value of your natural capital and ecosystem services. @hannahrudman.bsky.social @jeremyleggett.bsky.social
