Looking forward to 2023 & another great year of landscape-scale habitat #restoration & nature recovery at #Corrour. Featuring:

- #Peatland restoration with PeatlandACTION and contractor Barker and Bland

- Azure Hawker #dragonfly conservation bog pool creation with the British Dragonfly Society

- #MontaneScrub planting with TreeSurv

- Lots of natural tree #regeneration

+ much more!

Huge thanks to all who attended my talk at the British Ecological Society Conference #BES2022. It was on my #PhD research @StirlingScience exploring outputs in montane willow scrub restoration.

I'm grateful for the fantastic range of questions afterwards highlighting exciting new research opportunities including carbon dynamics & conservation genetics, while also providing opportunity to discuss other chapters of my PhD. It couldn't have been a more perfect Q&A! 🤩
