@andyheald.bsky.socialReally interesting to visit the SS Explorer - a retired Scottish Fisheries Research Ship now being lovingly restored by a team of volunteers.
Also a rare opportunity to walk around Leith Docks.
You can learn more about the ship here www.theexplorer.scot

@dailyhandle.bsky.socialReposted by @andyheald.bsky.socialDrylands Emerge as Frontier for Commercial Tree Growing in Kenya (NAIROBI, KENYA) - Kenya is seeking to shift forestry from mainly a conservation activity to a source of investment, jobs and economic growth, backed by new climate funding, commercial tree growing plans and forest restoration…
@andyheald.bsky.socialThe trees in the Defra announcement will be mainly urban and street trees.
Unclear why the Guardian have used a photo of “woodland creation”
Big issue is underfunded Council Tree Officers who are unable to water and maintain urban trees, & engage local communities
