scots pine trees with a hillside behind. Patches of snow remain on the hill
Scots pine silhouette in the Caledonian forest. The patches of melting snow on the hill behind made for an interesting and unusual backdrop (I think so anyway!).

It’s definitely one of the times of year when our native woodlands are bursting with mushrooms & toadstools. Just a few from our Dunbar #communitywoodland today - (puff ball, parasol mushroom, coral spot & shaggy ink cap) - vital part of a healthy ecosystem

The 3 stages of #ancientwoodlandrestoration are to halt further decline, transform back to #nativewoodland and to maximise #ecological integrity. Mick Bracken (Woodland Trust) explains in all these stages it is #light that is the most important factor.

Works carried out under derogation & following best practice
All done by volunteers

On a dull day the fragrance of the #wildgarlic was wafting through @scotwildlife.bsky.social #BrockWood #EastLothian. The carpet of rounded umbels of 6-petalled white flowers are structurally pleasing against the lush green leaves.
