Beth, our Research and Evidence Manager, has been growing some S. contortum for the past couple of years. It is starting to show its true colours #SphagnumMonday #GreatNorthBog #SphagnumTown
Some amazing art from the #Peat Appreciation Society exhibition at Gibson Mill at Hardcastle Crags (link in reply). It goes on until the end of April and it's looooovely. So boggy, so sphagnumy π #SphagnumMonday #GreatNorthBog
So it should be #SphagnumMonday but it seems all our peatlands have frozen over π₯Ά. There must be some bryophytes hidden under all that ice... somewhere #GreatNorthBog

More rain this week but it's still cold out there. Will S. cuspidatum finally emerge from the ice?! π§ #SphagnumMonday #GreatNorthBog #Winter
As our friend Mariah says, if all you want for Christmas is a blanket bog, weβve got you covered. Weβre bringing the bog to you! In collaboration with the Craven College in Skipton, weβve created a VR experience that makes peatlands accessible to everyone #GreatNorthBog #SphagnumMonday #Christmoss π
Sphagnum compactum at Fylingdales. Life finds a way. #SphagnumMonday #GreatNorthBog
It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like #Christmoss! Have you been good peatland practitioners and restored a lot of #Peatland this year? #SphagnumMonday #GreatNorthBog #Christmas
Red coloured moss fills the image, with shoots of light green leaves growing amongst it.
#SphagnumMonday - feast your eyes on this #festive coloured sphagnum.
Head to the link in our bio to find out about this amazing moss and why it's being planted on the moors of the #PeakDistrict and #SouthPennines.

Peatland restoration in action! #Sphagnum eating away a coir bund! num-num-num #SphagnumMonday #GreatNorthBog
When old meets new. Two restoration interventions, 10 years apart. The timber dam has been overgrown by #Sphagnum and #Cottongrass. We then added a coir log to improve water retention in some part of the gully. #PeatlandRestoration #SphagnumMonday #GreatNorthBog
Some updates from the #MegaBog at Cliffe Castle Museum: it's doing great! A lot of #Sphagnum, a lot of sedges! Much green, #MuchWow! #SphagnumMonday #GreatNorthBog
A fantastic hummock among the sedges. How many different #Sphagnum species can you identify? π΅οΈ #SphagnumMonday #GreatNorthBog
Sphagnum and drosera in a wet scottish woodland. #Sphagnum is everywhere πΆ #SphagnumMonday
We went back to a site that was restored about 2 years ago. It is very nice to see nice Sphagnum-rich pools have formed next to the peat dams. Sphagnum plugs are also doing great (now more than 200 times their initial size). Happy times π #SphagnumMonday #GreatNorthBog

Okay it's a bit late for #SphagnumMonday but look at this plug!! It was planted about a year ago and is now more than a hundred time its original size. #GreatNorthBog

Have you thought about your next holiday destination? Why not visit #Latvia and its wonderful bogs? Lots of trees, lots of pools and wall to wall #Sphagnum! Something to aim for #GreatNorthBog (also deckchairs in a bog! Yes please!) #SphagnumMonday (photos Beth Thomas)
it's #WorldPeatlandsDay! We asked the team why they love peatlands. Let us know why you love peatlands in the comments (beside sphagnum moss obviously π) #SphagnumMonday #GreatNorthBog
It's raining!!! Sundews are popping out for a drink! #SphagnumMonday #GreatNorthBog
Where there is water, there is Sphagnum. #Rewetting is essential to make our peatlands greener and more resistant to droughts #SphagnumMonday #GreatNorthBog
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.
