One of the key focuses of #PeatlandsForProsperity is creating new rural income opportunities through wetland farming (paludiculture).
By working with higher water tables, farmers can grow innovative crops like blueberries, helping to restore peatlands and generate new income.

A plastic piling damn blocks this drain, playing a vital role in restoring peatlands by holding water on site and reversing decades of drainage. The screw caps in the middle give farmers the ability to better control water levels.

Peatlands are incredible places for wildlife, carbon stores, water filters and stores as well as valuable sites for fresh air of quiet reflection.

Cowberry or lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea), seen here fruiting at one of the project’s Paludiculture farms, is a small creeping plant of the heath family (Ericaceae), related to the blueberry and cranberry, is a promising Paludiculture crop.

Bog wood—oak, pine, or yew—formed 4,000–8,000 years ago in early bogs! The same oxygen-free conditions that lock in carbon also preserve the wood, turning it jet black, red, or brown over time. EUinmyregion #PeatlandsForProsperity #BogOak #Ireland
