The Met Office have released a theoretical forecast for 23rd June 2056. Based on current climate change trends these temperatures will be plausible during intense summer heatwaves in just a few decades.

As we approach the end of 2025 we'd like to say a massive THANK YOU to everyone who helped with our invasive plant project! Volunteers contributed an incredible 4012 hours tackling American skunk cabbage, giant hogweed, Himalayan balsam, Himalayan knotweed & Japanese knotweed. 🌱

As we approach the end of the year we'd like to share our mink capture count for Wester Ross - our most southerly area on the west coast. 🐾 So far in 2025, our volunteers and project team have captured 42 mink!

Just a couple of mink trap checks on a sunny day! ☀️⛅️ Monitoring and trapping mink in coastal areas can be very challenging but we've had a great year of captures so far in Wester Ross and Lochalsh, all thanks to our wonderful volunteers. 1/2

Dispersal season may be starting to wind down but this is still a really important time to be catching mink. This adult female was captured at a wildlife reserve yesterday morning - the site hasn't had any captures for a year but luckily we had several active traps in place.
