💡 For Scotland, natural capital is more than just a resource - it's part of our national identity and sustainability.
The @scotgov is encouraging responsible private investment in our forests, wetlands, and peatlands through a Natural Capital Market Framework that will be published later this year and our approach to land reform shows how we can balance economic growth with caring for the environment and our communities.

💭 Have you heard of Remembering Together? It’s a national COVID-19 memorial project.
On Monday we witnessed the unveiling of the project's final bench. The 12 benches both commemorate those who lost their lives, and celebrate how communities supported each other 💛
