| | | Rare sawfly in Scotland
One to look out for?  Nematus pseudodispar on birch. BBC - Earth News - Sawfly makes first UK appearance
Pretty unlikely to turn up but interesting to know what is out there .... |

In total, 56 rare species were found. All are included in the UK's Biodiversity Action Plan as priority species for conservation action.
Dundreggan is one of the largest areas of land in the UK bought for forest restoration. Trees for Life plans to plant half a million trees on the site, and to create an environment that will encourage rare wildlife to thrive
Lets hope the planting of so many trees doesn't upset the applecart. |

I have a proposal that all areas of woodland should have 50% of their area set aside for null-treatment - don't crop them, don't coppice them, don't let people near them at all! [Except, maybe every five or ten years, to allow the occasional ecologist inside to see what's happening!  ]
