A most interesting project looking for support!

DRY STONE WALLING
The Anthology
An illustrated, international collection of poems and prose
celebrating the craft of dry stone walling
(A project led by Terry Thomas McCormick based in Kendal, Westmorland and Furness, United Kingdom.)

We are now complete and ready to go.
All we need is the funding to make this into a book of quality that honours our craft of dry stone walling around the world.
We are delighted to launch a Crowdfunding UK appeal using the title Dry Stone Walling: The Anthology. Its target is £3500.
The link is: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/dry-stone-walling-the-anthology
Apart from donating, the most important help you can now offer to making this book a reality is to forward the link to your friends, colleagues and association members and ask them to send it on as well. With fair fortune and commitment, this book will be a true dry stone walling community production.

Full details of this project are on the Crowdfunder page.

This Red Squirrel Appreciation Week we’re calling on people all over Scotland to get outside, explore nature and be on the lookout for tufted ears and bushy tails for our seventh annual Great Scottish Squirrel Survey. Report your sightings of both red and grey squirrels between 6 – 12 October to provide us with a snapshot of the situation on the ground: https://scottishsquirrels.org.uk/
