This workshop will focus on bringing together scientists and catchment practitioners from across the EU to further our understanding of riparian buffer functioning in different situations so that practical guidance may be developed as to their use, design, management and limitations. The workshop will be held in Ballater, northeast Scotland from 25th – 28th April 2010. For more information, visit the workshop website or email Jenna Gray.




The Macaulay Land Use Research Institute and SCRI joined forces on 1 April 2011 to create The James Hutton Institute. It is the first Institute of its type in Europe and will make major, new contributions to the understanding of key global issues such as food, energy and environmental security.
