Moorland fires devastate wildlife and precious moorland ecosystems. Vegetation can dry out quickly, even after periods of rain. A wildfire will destroy everything in its path, birds, animals and plants. Now is the time when many moorland birds nest on the ground #peatlandmatters
As Storm Ciaran batters the UK, this is how our #peatlandrestoration helps #slowtheflow in high rainfall events, mitigating flooding & protecting communities downstream. Captured during Storm Babet, it shows recently installed stone dams in Swinhope, Weardale.

When peatland is healthy it's wonderful to see how quickly nature will make it their home. We spotted this cranberry in flower growing over sphagnum moss we planted in 2020 #biodiversity #peatlandmatters
The world’s stock of tropical peat is estimated to be as much as 350 billion tonnes, making a global total of more than 800 billion tonnes – equivalent to 20 years of carbon emissions from burning fossil fuels.
