In October we welcomed Longford County Council to one of our Peatlands for Prosperity sites for an on-the-ground look at peatland restoration in action. This image captures Dr. Doug McMillan explaining peat soil and its role in carbon storage.

Great to host ag students from University of Galway to see paludiculture in action.

Blueberries grown with wool mulch, an old peat bank & cutover woodland behind — past, present & future in one field.

It's all part of agriculture and forestry working with nature, not against it—healing the land for people, climate, water quality and wildlife. 💚

Part of the beauty of wetter agriculture is that, besides the income they provide, growing new 'wetland' crops raises the water table so reviving seed banks in the soil which lay dormant due to the dryness of the peat as a result of drainage.
