I watched yesterday's webinar on this subject, and it really does feel like a whole new frontier of exciting possibilities and potential is opening up in how we grow food, and how that impacts on the natural world. Hope at a time when it's in short supply!

This week trains in Scotland got cheaper! 🚆 Our public transport must be accessible, reliable and affordable. That's why we've worked so hard alongside unions and passengers to scrap peak fares on our railways, and provide free travel for young people on our buses and ferries.

🛤️Heading home on the train? You'll no longer have to pay peak rail fares! Why? Because the Greens, trade unions, and commuters demanded that the Scottish Government scrap them!

I’ve always been sad that my neighbouring ward Cllr @gavincorbett.bsky.social stood down at the last election so we didn’t work on cross boundary issues together 🗺️📍 I’m delighted Gavin is endorsing the excellent @qmanivannan.bsky.social who will make a fab colleague instead (!) 🗳️ #VoteGreen

I'm delighted and honoured to receive a pre-publication copy of 'Is a River Alive?', by @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social, whose exquisite writing has always had a huge influence on me. I can't wait to read this. And not too long before it's in the shops either: tomorrow morning, in fact!

I’m looking forward to chairing my first @wolct.bsky.social board meeting this evening. So much activity and plans to pore over as we protect, improve and engage communities in the river and its environment.

These sunny spring days offer the perfect opportunity to get outside and enjoy some fresh air. Earlier this month, Nature Champion for Paths @sandeshgulhane.bsky.social joined @ramblersscotland.bsky.social for a walk along the Kelvin to discuss the health benefits from walking/wheeling in nature.
