We were delighted to spend a day with Longford County Council out at one of our #PeatlandsForProsperity sites last October! It was great to share peatland restoration, wetter farming, biodiversity recovery, and new rural income opportunities with them.

#EUinmyregion #GreenRestorationIreland

It's views like this that stand as a powerful reminder of why we work so hard to restore peatlands and protect our natural heritage. As we look ahead to 2026, we’re excited to build on this work and continue restoring these places for future generations.
