A new peatland restoration project is to be launched to Caithness businesses in early September.

The ‘For Peat’s Sake’ project will commence with a series of classes taught by UHI North in conjunction with Peatland ACTION.

Titled, ‘An Introduction to Peatland Restoration’, this new course will consist of practical and classroom learning in an effort to revive interest in the peatland sector which is in desperate need of new recruits and environmental protection across the Highlands.

The course will offer lessons in local ecology, restoration techniques, and wildlife habits as well as hill working safety.

All I see is the community named "nature" and the name of the TO, you. The only thing UK is the .co.uk in the link. I am using Connect.

I used to use Connect - moved to Voyager, which I found to have more useful features, but still have it on my phone. I have just taken a look and Connect shows me the name of the server as well as the community - so I don't know if that is an option somewhere in the settings.

However, yes, I am aware that the name of the community does appear simply as 'nature' in some cases. There isn't much I can do about that, as I didn't set it up.

Still, my original comments stand. The idea that I and everyone else should specify that each story is related to the UK - in a community that is specific to the UK - and would need to editorialise titles and content to do so (which would definitely draw negative comments) is unreasonable. And would that be sufficient for everyone? There are certainly people, for example, who are confused by entities like the UK, England, Great Britain etc and are not aware of how they relate to each other.

I usually browse by subscribed, but if I should choose to browse by all then there are always a scattering of stories that I know nothing about. I wouldn't expect that every one of those should include a wiki guide to the subject in question. I would expect that I would need to look it up myself.
