Great to speak to so many growers, agronomists and seed producers about #PCN resistance and tolerance today. Key message: PCN resistance works extremely well and tolerance ≠ resistance!

We are urging Scottish Ministers to #SaveCoulLinks after golf course proposals were granted approval last week.
Please retweet, and write to your MSP to save this incredible piece of wild Scotland: e-activist.com/page/25176/ac…
I've asked the Scottish Government to #SaveCoulLinks. Will you do the same before we lose another protected site to a golf course development? bit.ly/2HHABFa
