New guidance promoting good environmental practice in wind farm construction has won a Scottish Green Energy Award. The publication is intended to share good practice across the industry and to demonstrate what can be achieved on windfarm sites in Scotland. The guidance draws on the experience gained to date through building and operating more than 60 windfarms already operating in Scotland. It focuses on preventing pollution and conserving nature, as well as landscape, drainage and related issues. “The guidance takes what all the partners have learned in recent years about building windfarms and shares it with all those involved in the industry,” remarked Brendan Turvey, SNH policy and advice manager for renewables. “I believe it will be a real boost to the responsible development of the renewable energy sector in Scotland.”
The final titles in the long-running series A Landscape Fashioned by Geology are now available. Orkney and Shetland, Argyll and the Islands and Moray and Caithness are being published to complete the 20-title series. These publications include descriptions of the long disappeared Lake Orcadie and its long extinct population of 400 million-year- old fishes that are now preserved in fossil layers. Also featured are the tropical swamps that once covered parts of Argyll and the gold rush fervour that once swept Kildonan in Caithness. The books tell the story of the geology of these areas of Scotland in a rich mix of words, photographs and other illustrations. They're all priced at £7.95 and can be purchased in the various ways detailed below.
