LIFE IP Peatlands and People
🌿 Happy International Day for Biological Diversity! Peatlands are home to a high proportion of Ireland’s biodiversity.
🌿We are shining a light on our beloved Sphagnum Moss, the critical bog builder!
🌿At P&P, we have been planting Sphagnum across re-wetted cutaway bog formerly used for extraction.
Happy #WorldPeatlandsDay! 🌱Peatlands are critical for people, climate and nature.
🌱 In celebration of these valuable ecosystems, we have created an infographic which explains the different peatland habitats found throughout Ireland!
