📢 The #Riverwoods Digital Centre of Excellence is now live!
The online hub, created by the Trust, Fisheries Management Scotland and @wtscotsocial.bsky.social, is a centralised space for practitioners to access tools, data, and guidance related to river woodland restoration.
Hoewel de outfit een maritiem verleden suggereert (ja, zolang onze pap letterlijk aan het roer stond en ik een uitmuntend bemanningslid was), is deze toch verworden tot huispak. Broek bleef achterwege, want linnen beetje fris voor nu 😁 #outfitoftheday #RiverWoods #Gaastra ⚓️🛟
#Riverwoods or #riparian woodland, should be see it as #dispersal corridors, #refugia or does it unique #habitat in its own right? Some reflections from the perspective of #lichens and #bryophytes.

The organisations have been awarded #Riverwoods development grants to produce river woodland development plans.
These plans are the essential first step in enhancing local river health, creating new homes for wildlife and improving access to nature! 🌳(2/3)
Can you help deliver a practical blueprint for river woodland restoration & creation across Scotland? Then this role could be for you! ⬇️(We're a proud partner of the #Riverwoods Blueprint Project). #RiparianWoodland #TreePlanting #RiverRestoration
A photo of a kingfisher perched on a mossy branch. The kingfisher is facing away from the camera looking down to the right of the frame. The bird has vibrant blue feathers with a sky blue section up the centre of its back. There is a small patch of white feathers on the birds cheek and an orange patch on its face. The kingfisher has a long black beak. Photo taken by Joshua Copping.
Exciting opportunity! 🌳🌊

August sunset beyond the River Till ( only tributary of R. Tweed in Northumberland). Followed river through #riverwoods for a few miles as darkness fell. Insects busy, fish leaping, tawny owl, bats, herons, oaks, hazel, alder, willow, and so on. Night walking. #NatureConnection
Resting beneath this alder tree by the Harthope Burn, Northumberland National Park. Temperature is just right. Researching #riverwoods for my next project.

A photo of a river at the Scottish Wildlife Trust's Roslin Glen Wildlife Reserve. The surface of the water is scattered with mossy rocks. A long exposure effect has been applied to the water giving the ripples and white areas a dusty, blurred look. Beyond the river, there are tall green trees on the far bank.
Just over one week to go before applications for the #Riverwoods Development Grant close‼️
The deadline is 12pm on Monday 28 July 2025.

A photo of a river taken at the Scottish Wildlife Trust's Carron Glen Wildlife Reserve. There is some long exposure on the water giving it a wispy feel. On the closer bank, there are large mossy rocks with fallen leaves on top. There are more rocks poking out of the surface of the river. On the far bank there are lots of plants and vibrant green trees. Photo taken by Francis McCafferty.
There are only two weeks left to apply for funding to kickstart river woodland projects through the #Riverwoods Development Grant!⏳

Alder is the most common tree found in riverwoods - also known as riparian or #wetland forests 🌳
#Riverwoods act as corridors, connecting different patches of woodland and helping wildlife move through the landscape.

A photo showing a split view of a river. The photo is divided in the middle by the surface of the water. The top half shows the river banks with plants and trees. Below the water there are aquatic plants and mossy rocks. Photo taken by Linda Pitkin as part of the 2020VISION project.
There's still plenty of time to apply for the #Riverwoods Development Grant! Funding is available to help environmental NGOs and community groups across Scotland kickstart river woodland projects to restore river catchments. 🌱

A photo showing small shoots of newly planted trees. The trees are in a nursery and are growing in seed trays before being planted along river banks in the Kyle of Sutherland catchment area. Photo taken by Clemetine Leemans at the Kyle of Sutherland Rivers Trust.
Our partners Kyle of Sutherland Rivers Trust have planted nearly 10,000 native trees in Kyle of Sutherland this spring! 💚
🌳In time, they will cast much-needed shade along two kilometres of riverbanks. Find out more about #Riverwoods www.riverwoods.org.uk

We've begun a #riverwoods #restoration trial at #Corrour through the Loch Abar Mòr partnership. These small unfenced seed islands are intended to provide cover & nutrients along the river where seed sources are currently lacking. I'll be #monitoring their progress! #naturerichLochaber

Pink! Roze Retro! Ik kreeg deze #outfitoftheday van papa in watersportwinkel van jachthaven Port Zélande aan het Grevelingenmeer, zo'n 25j geleden. 💖 Grappig detail: je ziet River en a/d achterkant in de spiegel, Woods. Linnen kreukbroek, warme pull, complete set #RiverWoods 💕
Hawthorn scrub on the edge of the loch with moss clad trunks and larger branches surrounded by smaller branches and twigs that were the domain of lichens. #microclimate at work. This pattern was clearly visible all around the loch.
A close up of one of the larger branches. The mosses Hylocomium splendens and Hypnum jutlandicum with some of the lichen Parmelia sulcata woven through. An unexpected cover as this is a community of acidic bark and hawthorn tends to be nutrient-rich.
A close up of a twig with a dense community of the lichens Evernia prinastri, Hypogymnia physodes, Parmelia sulcata and some Usnea woven through. Again, very much what I would have expected on acidic bark.
Intrigued by the lochside trees that will sometimes be leaning in the water and sometimes be on dry land. There is a specific community of bryophytes that have specialised in this habitat.
Lochside trees at Loch Insh NNR. Intrigued by hawthorn scrub in which the branches are a cloud of #lichens, while the trunks have a thick cover of #bryophytes. The loch provides humidity, with the trunks being most humid and the domain of mosses. #scottishlichens #riverwoods #lichenGBI #biodiversity
Creag Meagaidh NNR, Scottish Highlands. Alnus glutinosa - Fraxinus excelsior - Lysimachia nemorum alderwood. Both the burn and the root nodules of #alder generate a degree of natural eutrophication that is reflected in the #bryophyte flora. #scottishlichens #riverwoods #biodiversity #bryophytes
Epiphytic lichens play an important role in stemming the flow of water and nutrients from riparian ecosystems. They capture stemflow before it can be absorbed by tree roots . Water absorption by lichens is immediate, but release is much slower (hours or days). #scottishlichens #riverwoods #lichens
Thinking about riparian habitat today, and how lucky I am to be surrounded by upland rivers, smaller streams, wet woodland and fen. Realizing how little I actually know about the ecological dynamics of riparian habitat and how these affect lichens and bryophytes. #scottishlichens #riverwoods
