And perhaps inspire new and old ways of us connecting with the ecologies of Scotland too
🌲 If Scotland’s trees could talk, what would they say? The Forgotten Woodlands project from NatureScot @ForestryLS + @ainmeanaite maps place-names which reveal historical woodland coverage. It could inspire a new generation of ecological restoration orlo.uk/Mh1tl

Scotland's placenames give an endlessly exciting way in to considering the relationship folk have with their environment; past, present & future
As part of our #RestorYation Cairngorms project, we’re excited to collaborate with @NatureScot @ForestryLS and @ainmeanaite on their Forgotten Woodlands story map, being launched today! We’re helping to ground-truth some of these place-names denoting woodland coverage.

Incredible to see the power and fresh thinking emerging when the cultural dimensions of land and ecology are put front and centre
Had a great time giving a presentation and participating in discussions with people working within ecological restoration as part of Cairngorms Connect's Gaelic Knowledge Exchange Visit at the Badaguish Outdoor Centre! @CairngormsCo @HuttonSEGS @BroonCooFilms @AJuarezBourke

Because sharing stories for a sustainable future involves more than beautiful images

We're exploring how making space for less-heard stories can pave the way for enhancing biodiversity in a more inclusive way ... focussing first on #gender #gaelic & #montanewoodland in partnership with @CairngormsCo . @HuttonSEGS @HuttonICS #maps @MontaneWoodland @cairngormsnews
Our project, #RestorYation Cairngorms, aims to increase the visibility of stories of #Cairngorms ecologies, people & ways of knowing that have typically been marginalised. Displaying video stories and maps related to #biodiversity in the area 📽️🗺️ More: bit.ly/3QXu92s

How do we perceive and share (and care for) the riches of the sea as we move away from oil? Presented a taster of @ruralis_no @HuttonSEGS film-based research from #Norway at conference with great discussion amongst scientists, NGOs, Ministers, policymakers & other marine citizens

I got a fascinating glimpse into the world of @MontaneWoodland and the research of @Watts_SH when filming with her on the strikingly wooded slopes of @N_T_S #NTSBenLawers. She has been shortlisted for the @NatureofScot Conservation Science Award. See: vimeo.com/user211473889

Lucky me getting to work with this material & other moments of magic #connection @ElaineKordys creates in her astonishing & inspiring creative movement therapy
I leant the 2 women living in carehomes that I am working with on a new film with @DanceBase a camera each and some bulbs. They were encouraged to document them growing and what beautiful pictures I received. Enjoy! @LuminateScot @BoldScotland @Artsincarehomes @DementiaATrust

It was a great session ➡️ key questions: the industry seems to be changing, and COVID shows how quickly it can adapt, but will catering to the needs of crew who are carers be seen as too troublesome alongside covid measures? How do we ensure diversity is a priority?
If you missed yesterday's Coffee Morning with @RaisingFilms @jessicalevick and @manjinder_virk on challenges facing parents and carers who are also filmmakers, you can now watch it in full on our website thanks to Jess and Manjinder for joining us! bit.ly/32e8D0p
