CONSERVATION
Jennie has set up and been involved in a variety of conservation projects from reforestation work to establishing a Habitat Restoration Project in Moray which involved removing invasive non-native species along the River Findhorn. She is also the author of the SSC code that supports sustainability for wild food enthusiasts
The SSC
Wild Food Code
Heading out to collect brambles or wild raspberries can be one of the most wonderful activities that people can do with their family and friends.
Evidence has shown that collecting, eating and cooking wild food is a fabulous way to connect with nature, improve our mental health and overall wellbeing as well as having a great time socially. However, after many years of teaching about wild food Jennie felt a need for a 'code' for people to follow that would support primarily sustainability around harvesting as well as safety for everyone.... so she wrote the SSC Code for collecting Wild food.
Habitat
Restoration Project
A call to eradicate the dangerous Giant Hogweed (Heracleum mantegazzianum) along the River Findhorn.
In 2012 Jennie started Wild things! Habitat Restoration Project. This project works to remove invasive-non-native plants such as Himalayan Balsam (Impatiens glandulifera), Japanese Knotweed (Fallopia japonica) and the toxic plant Giant Hogweed (Heracleum Mantegazzianum) in an area along the lower Findhorn River in the North East of Scotland. The removal of these plants increases the biodiversity in the area by preventing a mono-culture being established as this would adversely affect the native flora and fauna.
If you are interested in volunteering for this project or bringing a work group along contact Wild things!
