Thursday 6 July 10.00 - 2.00 Wildlife Croft Skye
Wildlife Croft Skye is a 3ha wooded croft in South Skye. It is being actively managed by Phil Knott and his partner for food, fuel and fibre with biodiversity at the very heart of the operation.
Join the tour and learn about, native trees, managing wildflowers, nature-based solutions for drainage, rush and bracken management and establishing fruit trees and shrubs. We will also discuss the management of a young woodland, with examples of coppicing and pollarding at various stages. Increasing biodiversity will be a theme throughout the visit!
The visit to Wildlife Croft Skye is a free event hosted by The Landworkers' Alliance and Reforesting Scotland

Anne MacLennan writes in the July newsletter from Skye Climate Action
This webinar is organised by Global Justice Now to highlight an international fossil fuel treaty and to consider how we campaign for it in Scotland. As the climate crisis escalates, there is an urgent need for an international treaty to plan the global phase out of fossil fuels in a fast and fair manner.
Fossil fuel companies such as Shell and BP are reporting huge profits with new coal, oil and gas projects still being approved by the UK and other governments despite the climate emergency and a cost of living crisis. A global coalition is calling for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.
Speakers from the Pacific Islands, Europe and California will provide background on the coalition, but anyone can join in the discussion about persuading the Scottish Government to endorse the Treaty. Edinburgh, London and Brighton are among 80 councils and cities worldwide who have already signed up. Is it time that Inverness (and Aberdeen!) joined the movement?
