The Focus North Conference took place last week (28 March 2024).. It looked like a good event. This journalist was up to her knees in bog at the time out and about collecting evidence of lack of biodiversity monitoring. Did you know that the UK POMS only have four squares in Caithness, two of them taken and the other two not good… one inaccessible, and the other is arable.
The Conference focussed on the big picture, while climate change was hardly mentioned at all. Offsetting the effect of the Peatlands against the Sutherland Space Hub is an interesting question, and is being posed to our academic partners.
There was not a word about climate change and The Highland Council area is still slipping in its targets.

My next job is to find a study which would highlight the carbon offset of the Peatlands against the Sutherland Space Hub.
It is an interesting question…. Meanwhile, our environmental news is published here… and will, hopefully, soon be available in Tesco stores.. fingers crossed.
Meanwhile Friends of the North Highland Way gets even more traction further south.
