Another packed APRS news for our members and supporters. In this newsletter we welcome Laura to the team and say a very sad goodbye to Nina after 13 years.

We also have an update on our ongoing campaign on National Parks, following our disappointment after the cancellation of the National Park in Galloway.

And we have good news on a couple of campaign wins!

We have a bonus extra webinar in our biodiversity and planning series with Planning Democracy. We hope you can join us!

There’s also news on our manifesto for the Holyrood 2026 Elections, and our volunteer-led research project on energy, particularly battery storage.  You can also read obituaries of valued members David Maisels and Margaret Hunter, and past APRS Chair Robin Salvesen.

If you enjoy our e-bulletin and find it useful please do consider joining APRS or making a donation – we have three part-time members of staff and so even small amounts of money make a big difference to us!
