Rainforest / Scotland / Temperate / Networking / Ecology 

The second of two "Tree Amble Specials" this episode saw us heading to Scotland for a meeting of partner organisations and individuals working to save Scotland's Rainforest. 

Yes! Scotland has rainforest, and very special rainforest at that. The soft wet fringes of the west coast have just the tight conditions for rainforests to form with an amazing variety of mosses, lichens, bugs and beasts. It is highly fragmented and threatened ... but a lifeline is emerging as local people and groups with bigger organisations like Woodland Trust Scotland and RSPB come together to think and act in a coordinated way. 

Have a listen to some very special people working together to save something of immense significance for nature in Scotland. Bear in mind also that England Wales and Ireland (check out Eoghan Daltun's book - An Irish Atlantic Rainforest) also have remnants of gorgeous biodiverse rainforest.
