She's a farmer herself and has robust opinions. She also has a crazy squirrel named Alistair, a fecund one-eyed hedgehog named Reggie, and some very funny stories - including one about a kid with a head full of dolphins.</p><p>So this week we learn about:</p><ul><li>Animal rescue and why it's worthwhile</li><li>Saving a paralysed, tick-infested red deer hind</li><li>How gardeners can help rewild</li><li>Just how frightened I am of getting a squirrel down my trousers</li><li>Why kids might be the answer to nature's decline</li></ul><p>Join in, contact me - @ScotNatureCorr - on X/Twitter with ideas/crits, if you're liking this, sign up and spread the word.
