I work for a conservation organisation in the Southern Uplands of Scotland, where we are restoring nature on a landscape scale.
One of my favourite current projects is the restoration of a wood pasture with a number of ancient trees which supports a wild array of wildlife.

I'm grateful for many things, including hedgelaying.
We've had fun laying this 12 year old mixed species hedge, which encloses an orchard on one of our sites.
I'm hooked now, speaking of which, if anyone has any old billhooks laying about, send them my way!

Nominative determinism always cheers me up, so I enjoyed seeing this forested scene by Elizabeth Hazelwood yesterday (on display at Perth Infirmary)
