Coppice I am keen to promote NCFed’s excellent work through the report of their recent Mapping project, which shows there is now plenty of evidence why coppice should be given a higher profile. I agree! All discussed in more detail in my blog. blogger.com/blog/post/edit/9…

One of the most memorable images of my childhood in the 70s was watching Mike Procter bowling. Like a demented windmill on legs. Fearsome pace and an equally devastating batsman. So sorry to hear this news.
Some very sad news. The former South Africa & @Gloscricket all-rounder Mike Procter has died. He was 77. Thoughts with his family & friends. #BBCCricket

Excellent meeting today with Louise Simpson CEO of @TheICF . Stimulating and inspiring conversation about collaboration, emerging leaders, social forestry, serving members and more. These sort of leader to leader bilaterals can be so valuable if the will is there.

They're also very cute and it's still a joy to see one almost every day 😊 #RedSquirrelAppreciationDay
Red squirrels have a huge variety of fur colours ranging from bright ginger to dark red to dark brown/black. 🐿️ But did you know - at Morton Lochs, #Tentsmuir, most of the red squirrels have dark coloured fur with very dark tails! #RedSquirrelAppreciationDay @ScotSquirrels

Doesn’t feel that long ago to me..:)
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…
Congratulations Janet. Looking forward to talking to you about the economics of farmers making (environmentally and economically) better use of their woods.
