Several #WorldPeatlandsDay posts today referencing their critical importance for carbon and biodiversity, but let's not forget the heritage significance of peatlands, pristine and degraded, and the need to consider this from the outset in any restoration work: historicengland.org.uk/images-books...
The youth of today are spoiled with their SFM and photogrammetry software that effortlessly produces orthophotos.
Back when I were I lad we had to do shit like this all the time. Anything to get an elevated perspective: Precariously balanced stepladders; hanging out of digger buckets. >>>
