Working with the support of Orkney Islands Council which maintains the verges, the NatureScot/RSPB multi-organisational Species on the Edge project, funded by the National Heritage Lottery Fund, will create, where there was once only short cut grass, a transformation into a biodiverse environment with a range of wildflower plant species.

“Species on the Edge is a collaboration of eight conservation organisations, working with communities across Scotland’s coasts and islands to save our rarest and most vulnerable species from extinction.”

The banner image is of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre (from Newburgh beach). This is an offshore wind farm which began its life in 2003 and was used as a test case of offshore wind, for other projects around the world to learn and build upon. It was objected to by Donald Trump for spoiling the view from his golf course, which caused great ecological harm to the local sand dunes, and his objections were defeated in court in 2014 and 2015.

The icon image is an amalgamation of the logo from https://slrpnk.net/c/ireland (given a Scottish twist) and a Solarpunk logo created originally by @roguecache and tweaked by @crazyminner@lemmy.ml.
