We're at the eri UHI North Highland Flow Country research conference this week hearing about some exciting new research! If you see us and want to hear about the programmes work come say hi! #Peattwitter #PeatlandsMatter
Peatlands are among the UK's most diverse habitats. Restoring them on behalf of our landowner partners helps to ensure the sustainability of these estates. This inspirational work mitigates Climate Change and enhances water quality.

It's been great to be talking about our work with our partners at Severn Trent this week - at the IUCN UK Peatlands Conference and with the #Bogtastic van at Hayfield Apple Day. #GBNB #PeatlandsMatter
Last week at #PeatConf22 we got the opportunity to visit #CorsFochno and learn more about how #peat bunding can help re-wet peat bogs. It was amazing to see some rare rusty bog moss!
Happy #SphagnumMonday !
We enjoyed meeting so many enthusiastic peaty people at the IUCN Aberystwyth conference.
Thanks for all the interesting discussions!
