Wonderful to see this fantastic work from WaterLANDS partner LIFE IP Wild Atlantic Nature at the Cuilcagh-Anierin Action Site in Leitrim, Ireland! 🇮🇪💚

At the Murrins today doing peat depth surveys for Ulster Wildlife 🌈 Every time I’ve surveyed here I’ve had rainbows…Something a bit magical about the place! Less than magical to walk on…worst bog I’ve had the displeasure of walking across in parts!🤣 my poor knees/ankles!

As a Tyrone woman I’m only delighted to see this! 👏🙌 great stuff folks!

This is an exciting LIFE IP Wild Atlantic Nature initiative to provide an opportunity for local groups of farmers & landowners in the northwest to get support to develop proposals for larger blanket bog-related projects. Generously funded by Lifes2good Foundation

🏞️ Wet and wild at Haughey’s Bog 🏞️ On #Countryside this week Nicola Weir travels to Haughey’s Bog in #Omagh to find out from Simon Gray Ulster Wildlife about a unique peat-land restoration that aims to bring back flora and fauna to the landscape. 🎧 Listen @bbcsounds

Came across this spot in Antrim the other day, was mapped as a small upland lough on the 1832 maps. A noticeable drain or straightened stream can be seen at the S end, look at the area now in 2023! Not a lough anymore, just eroded blanket bog! Ulster Wildlife IUCN UK Peatlands #peatlands

A somewhat more challenging visit to Yorkshire Dales NT Cray Moss in Yorkshire Dales National Park than the previous Friday's trip. Great to see all this rainwater being held back on the bog. #GreatNorthBog #PeatlandsMatter

I’ve yet to meet a farmer who thinks this is a good scheme! Perhaps I am wrong but it’s taking a lot of £ out of NI Agri support budget ⁦Ulster Farmers' Union⁩ ⁦Nature Friendly Farming Network⁩ ⁦Farming Life⁩ ⁦Irish Farmers Journal⁩ ⁦DAERA⁩ bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northe…

See these stone dams being put to the test post-heavy rain 🌧️ Their permeable structure facilitates slower water flow, reducing the intensity of river inflow. Any eroded peat or sediment is also caught behind them allowing vegetation such as #sphagnum moss to build up 🪨💧

Very interesting PhD opportunity findaphd.com/phds/project/p… #PeatTwitter

We are now planning to restore over 1,000ha 💪 of blanket bog 🌱 across Cuilcagh-Anierin Uplands SAC investing over 1 million 💶 on restoration materials for farmers 🧑‍🌾 supporting them with training to implement restoration 🚜 and job opportunities 🥳 WaterLANDS LIFE IP Wild Atlantic Nature

It's fantastic to see the shallow pools of water, created by #peatlandrestoration works on Exmoor, filling up with incredible peat-forming sphagnum mosses only 6 months on from when they were created.
