If you're visiting the #GreatNorthBog this weekend, please leave the BBQ at home, no naked flames, no smoking, no litter - we don't want another fire destroying wildlife, livelihoods or our #PreciousPeatlands.

This busy worker is the bilberry bumblebee; an important pollinator across the #GreatNorthBog. The queens feed mostly on bilberry nectar but workers are less fussy (as you can see). Our work rewetting #PreciousPeatlands is improving habitat for these little known but beautiful upland species.

A ditch on peatland filled with sphagnum moss.
A colleague took this pic on holiday because that's how we roll. Rewetting our #PreciousPeatlands is an easily achievable way to make them resilient in the face of climate change and wildfire.

The recent sporadic sunshine and dry winds have left the #GreatNorthBog very vulnerable to fire. If you're out enjoying the hills over the bank holiday please leave the barbecue at home. Let's all help keep our #PreciousPeatlands safe. Thank you.

This little scamp came out to watch us have lunch yesterday - our #PreciousPeatlands are a vital habitat for so many amazing species. With our partners, we're making so much progress across the #GreatNorthBog but we still have so much to do.
