During the last 20 years we have:
✅Brought 50,000 hectares of damaged peatland under restoration
✅Generated £49 million of investment to fund restoration
✅Worked in partnership with landowners to deliver nature recovery #peatlandsmatter #peatlandrestoration #peatlands #forpeopleforplanet

🔔This year marks the 20th anniversary of our team's peatland work across the three counties of the North Pennines.➡️ buff.ly/NZiNKmG #northpenninespeatlands #peatlandsmatter #peatlandrestoration #peatlands #forpeopleforplanet #GreatNorthBog

In the North Pennines, we have vast expanses of land where you can find blanket bog peatlands. They consist of low-lying vegetation such as mosses and sedges and pools of standing water. #northpenninespeatlands #celebratingwetlands #peatlands #wetlands #peatlandsmatter

Not only do our peatlands support biodiversity, filter our drinking water and minimise the risk of floods downstream but also represent a key part of this place’s identity. #northpenninespeatlands #celebratingwetlands #peatlands #wetlands #peatlandsmatter

🔵Today is #WorldWetlandsDay
Peatlands are wetland ecosystems and we have them across the uplands of the North Pennines National Landscape. #northpenninespeatlands #celebratingwetlands #peatlands #wetlands #peatlandsmatter

We were pleased to attend the University of Derby’s Environmental Sciences Employability Event today. It was great to chat to students about peatlands and the range of jobs and expertise involved in moorland restoration.

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

It was lovely to summarize my PhD at the Geomicrobiology Society's Research in Progress meeting and to be honoured with the best talk award!

Visiting the Wellcome Trust's Zelfo wetland crop fiberboards was also a must on the way home

At this point, I did not know that I was about to see a digger in action!

Challenging terrain, wet bog, abundance of sphagnum and sundews. A lovely site!

The site was really wet (and so are my socks) but the summer has been dry like most of the UK. It's amazing how quickly peatlands re-wet after it's rained for a few weeks and how much they change in appearance.

A sundew looking like an alien, out of this world creature.

A great day ouy on @rspb.bsky.social's Springwell Farm as part of @iucn-uk-peat.bsky.social #PeatConf25 looking at peatland restoration of old cutting site, forest to bog, haggs and gullies and drains. Great learning experience!
