Three individuals crouched on open moorland in the South Pennines, holding plugs of sphagnum moss.
Lovely blog post from our friends at SAIL - it's always great to meet our supporters and show them exactly what they're helping to achieve in the #GreatNorthBog

Two people wearing waterproof outdoor clothing are working on a slope of bare peat in an upland landscape. One person is bending down to install equipment in the exposed peat, while the other stands nearby holding materials. Several plastic pipes and coloured markers are laid out across the dark peat surface. The surrounding area is covered with rough, grassy vegetation and rolling moorland.
@yorkshirepeat.bsky.social is trialling a new technique to address patches of steep bare peat, known as hags, using sheep fleece. Hags are tricky to restore as it's difficult to establish any vegetation to stabilise the peat.

Just a gentle reminder: we keep finding popped #Balloons on many of our site visits. Along with adding to plastic pollution, they can also pose a risk to wildlife. We know balloons are fun for celebrations, but please be mindful of where they end up. 🎈💚 #Peatland #GreatNorthBog #Pollution

We’ve started surveying #Fylingdales Moor to plan restoration after last year’s #Wildfire. It’s a desolate landscape. On the upside, areas with higher plant diversity and more Sphagnum moss seem less affected by the #Fire. I wonder why? 🤔💧 #GreatNorthBog #Water #Peatland @northyorkmoors.org.uk

At the top of the image the sky is pale blue with some fluffy clouds. In the background, a dark coloured moorland edge with different shades of brown vegetation stretches across the image. In the foreground there is a an area of moorland with brown vegetation and pools of water.
#MondayMotivation - a beautiful boggy view from the moors. After so much rain, the team enjoyed some fairer weather today.

2/2 #Sphagnum moss is essential for healthy peatlands, helping to store carbon, reduce flood risk and create habitats for plants and wildlife. If you are interested in getting involved, please email info@yppartnership.org.uk for further details. #GreatNorthBog #PeatlandRestoration

So it should be #SphagnumMonday but it seems all our peatlands have frozen over 🥶. There must be some bryophytes hidden under all that ice... somewhere #GreatNorthBog
