Argyll Rainforest Restoration - Squad Supervisor

No. Mind me. It's my money you're spending on this.

Since when did Scotland have Rainforest?

Does chewing rhododendron fall under the job description of your local gamekeeper then? 

 

If anyone has the number for mine, I'd love to chat with him. I think he's been slacking off on the rhodie bashing. It's everywhere!

Being put to good use employing folk and restoring globally rare temperate rainforest habitat. We are a small social and environmental charity, scratching around trying to deliver good work, employ people and build resilience in our small remote and disadvantaged communities. Orgs like ours are not your enemy.

Since the ice retreated, hyperoceanicity developed and Woodlands emerged.

I'll decide what a good use of my money is. And I'll decide who my enemy is. It's the people stealing my money in the first place and then it's you, happy to take it for whatever's fashionable this week.

I was thinking that there was some kind of ‘Jurassic Park’ like Brazilian Rainforest in Scotland that I had somehow never heard of.  
But it just looks like a wetter version of the majority of woodlands in and around the UK, and ravaged with Rhododendron ponticum just like them.

Probably better that you take this up with the government. It's made avaliable for nature restoration. A paltry ammount. An embarrassing ammount considering the scale of the challenge. Like I say, I'm sorry that you feel the need to be so combative over a job advert for a squad lead cutting rhodies, but as I say its directed at the wrong folk. Go petition your government if you dont lime the tax regime as having a pop at a small environmental charity helping folk in argyll where none else is seems a bit like a waste of your energy. Thanks for stopping by tho.

Yes its temperate rainforest, not tropical. The epiphyte diversity, predominantly the lichen and bryophyte diversity is the best in Europe and up there globally.
