Nethy full film with subtitles

Another fascinating watch. Jimmy Macleod, head forester of a tree nursery (Dell Nursery) near Nethy Bridge that ceased operation in 1984.

He talks about the effect changing from horses and plough to tractors had on the soil and drainage, using kilns for extracting seeds from Scots pine cones, planting and much more.

Gingerman: Episode 319-Nethybridge

For anyone interested in what the area around Nethy Bridge. Video taken spring 2025. Brilliant watch.

Contains some drone footage to give you an idea of how close and extensive the wooded areas on the hills are to the houses and people living there. You can understand the evacuation better.

Passed through it on my recent trip to Tomintoul.

Fingers crossed that the area escapes the worst 🤞

Field work seems to be over for now in our #BEN_EAF outgoing mobility project in the #Cairngorms, #Scotland.

We did sample soil for #eDNA #metabarcoding and collected our pitfall traps.

It was a great and quite warm weather! 😎

Next: do some invertebrate identification in the labs of the #JamesHuttonInstitute .

Field work half-time for #BEN_EAF! ⛰️

We took small and larger soil samples from whom hashtag#SoilFauna will be heat-extracted in the soil lab at the Aberdeen campus of the #JamesHuttonInstitute. This is mainly springtails (#Collembola), mites (#Acari), and hopeful more small critters!

Further, we did also collect the soil fauna from the pitfall traps: mainly ground beetles (#Carabidae), wolf spiders (#Lycosidae), and harvestmen (#Phalangiidae). 🕷️🪲

Thanks again to Andrea Britton and Debbie Fielding for the help in the field work!

While samplings of #alpine beasties in the #Cairngorms #NationalPark for my #BEN_EAF project at the #JamesHuttonInstitute are still in the preparation, here some impressions of the critters I've found while hiking.
As temperatures go up, so more activity is expected, right?
? 🤓🕷️🐛🪱🧬

The nights are drawing in..' this evenings #sunset, at 21.30, over #NethyBridge in the #Cairngorms

This gives perhaps a better idea of a lot of the terrain. Lots of peat bogs and groughs. But great to see the spring alpine flowers in abundance. Creeping azalea and Cloudberry.
