We've collected Aspen clones from Wolf Slock. Its certainly a wild feeling, remote and enigmatic landscape. But plenty of scope and need for some as wild goats are overgrazing the vegetation and commercial forestry dominates on the lower ground with few if any native planting yet this is a core area of the Galloway and Southern Ayrshire UNESCO Biosphere. A future project perhaps?

Keen to here if you find any interesting or rare tree species such as Aspen, Rock Whitebeam and Juniper!

Enjoyed delivering an Aspen Propagation Workshop for SCOTLAND: The Big Picture today with a lovely bunch of . Lucky that stayed away for our field work. Demonstrations of nursery stock tree root propagation as well as extracting suckers and roots from a wild clone.

A variety of propagation tasks today at our Wednesday volunteers nursery session. Pricking out Scots Pine and Thrift seedlings and Aspen rootlings from last year, processing Goldenrod seed and Gean root cuttings, and potting on our Southern Scotland montane willows as future stock trees.

A question we often get asked is ‘can you fit 600 pure Wild Apple trees in the back of a car’ - the answer is yes…just…

This was the latest collection from Dumfries Prison, these trees are grown in the prison polytunnels from seed from certified pure trees and are now being planted out across the region this season, securing the next generation of wild Apple trees.

Dumfries & Galloway is a national ‘hotspot’ for pure wild apple (Malus sylvestris) trees, our only native apple. Why does this matter? See here: https://dgwoodlands.org.uk/galloway-crab-apple-action/

Massive thanks to DGW Trustee Jools for handling collection of seed and trees, thanks also to Greg and the team at Dumfries Prison for growing the trees! Scottish Prison Service The National Lottery Heritage Fund Scotland We hope to do more of this in the future

It was an honour and privilege to work with these polite, charming, fun and hard working young lads seeking a new life in Scotland . They planted 200 native trees at our Groatholm riparian woodland site by the beautiful River Garnock funded by Garnock Connections with support from NatureFix.

A fine autumn day for collecting native Juniper berries from the few remote scattered bushes remaining in the hills of South West Scotland. Perhaps just a bit late in the season. Plenty of green ones for next year! We will propagate the seed and then plant out any successful plants in our local seed orchards.

We have been long advocating for the planting of much more native Aspen in the landscape to restore this severely diminished keystone tree species, whether that be in the riparian zone to enhance Beaver habitat, native woodland edge, mixed with commercial conifers or in the upland fringe up to the treeline. Now with the risk of increasing each year there is yet another strong argument for increasing the Aspen component in our landscapes. Aspen landscapes provide wildfire resilience.

There are still places left on the Rewilding Learning Day organised by SCOTLAND: The Big Picture on October 23rd. This is all about Aspen and will be based at our nursery in Bishopton and will include a short field visit. More information here:
