YOUNG environmental campaigners in Wester Ross were given an unexpected treat from nature while out training at the weekend.
Young environmental campaigners in a Wester Ross community have returned to one of their old campaigns to help protect the marine environment on their doorstep.
KEEN young environmental campaigners in Wester Ross stepped out today to greet a fundraiser going the extra mile to help their group. Rosie Mckenzie from Mckenzie Mountaineering set herself the challenge of doing 600,000 steps between January 17 and her birthday on March 11, raising funds for Ullapool Sea Savers and Venture Scotland.
WESTER Ross environmental campaigners who have put their village on the global map got their sleeves rolled up again with another beach clean.
The efforts of Ullapool Sea Savers have been acknowledged in recent weeks on BBC's Autumn Watch and by Prince William in a special documentary being screened around the world.
They were back out again helping Scottish Wildlife Trust - Living Seas at a beach clean at Altandhu by Achiltibuie at the weekend. Lots of volunteers managed to clean up 490 kg of rubbish, mostly bits of twine and rope but also some fish farm pipes..
