On #WorldWetlandsDay, take a minute to find out why our wetlands are so very precious, for wildlife, people and the planet, by watching our animation with Pete the Frog 🐸 🎥 Produced with the Environment Agency youtube.com/watch?v=HmOkXy…

By helping to form peat, Sphagnum is important for climate change mitigation. Did you know that on a global scale, #peatlands sequester twice as much carbon as forests, despite only covering 3% of the Earth’s land? #WWD2024 #WorldWetlandsDay

We KNOW that peat needs to stay in the ground. Our peatlands are the biggest store of carbon on land in the UK – storing more than the forests of the UK, France and Germany combined! And yet. #WorldWetlandsDay #HiddenPeat (1/3)

We're spreading the word about where this Hidden Peat is found, and you can help. Share our resources & sign up here to find out the next steps 👇 wtru.st/peat-inspectors (3/3)

A unique chance to explore the history of the peatlands will be hosted by DurhamWildlifeTrust Saturday at Cuthbert's Moor with sound artist Tim Shaw & WaterLANDS artist Laura Harrington. Have a go at peat-coring with Dr Antony Blundell University of Leeds bit.ly/49wQECZ

Digging up peatlands is STILL legal...despite the UK Government's promise to ban this incredibly damaging practice. And while we know to avoid bags of peat compost, peat also lurks in other places, like plug plants and house plants. (1/2) #HiddenPeat #Cumbria

Peatlands, even when they're healthy, aren't always seen as the most traditionally 'beautiful' landscapes (we 💚 them, of course). But come June, with the cottongrass swaying, you can't beat them. (1/3) #Cumbria #LakeDistrict #Peatlands Cumbria Peat Partnership #WorldPeatlandsDay
