With more ‘weather extremes’ predicted for Scotland, its worth looking at nature based solutions and how they could help reduce the impact of flooding – see what other farmers have done at www.farmingandwaterscotland.org/resource-category/natural-flood-management/

Natural flood management can help land managers manage water on farm, become more resilient in a changing climate. Looking to nature based solutions.

How much rain and snow will we see in eastern Scotland later this week? 🌧️ ❄️
At least 120mm of rain could fall in some upland locations. And there may be 40cms (15.7 inches) of snow in some places 400m above sea level.

The 2025 Public Attitudes to Science Survey is out, with a mixed picture of how the UK sees science 🧪.
✔️ Strong support for scientists: 82% say they contribute real value.
✔️ 64% see science driving economic growth.
❗ But fewer people feel well informed about science than six years ago.
