It’s #InternationalBogDay and we’re delighted to share this great new blog from @wildlifebcn Young People’s Forum member Alfie, all about dynamic, varied peatlands, their unique ecosystems and exceptional carbon storing potential! https://t.co/DCN2GDpM6d #peatlandprogress
Today is #BogDay & we want to thank every partner, funder, interest group, landowner, commoner, contractor, volunteer & researcher that helps us to champion & positively shape the future of amazing #peatlands. Together, we're making a hugely positive difference across the SW🌱
“We should really be able to squeeze the water out of peat, but now it’s very dry here.”
At Holme Fen NNR, part of the @GreatFen, our peatland restoration manager Catherine Weightman is working to preserve the peat wetlands.

Don't miss two Youth Rangers opportunities this summer. Learning pollinator and botanical ID skills with a survey and rapid grassland assessment, followed by a butterfly transect. https://t.co/jDpI32HWNM
It’s been a year since the RSPB started work to restore the new @RSPBLakenheath Fen wetland and this transformative nature recovery project is cause for celebration🏅. In turn, it will create a rare and diverse habitat for wildlife and transform the public’s enjoyment of nature.
New resource for practitioners on #WorldPeatlandsDay!
A bilingual Glossary that helps standardise the national restoration reporting and evaluation. With 100+ restoration actions to date, it could also interest students and the public.

Fantastic to see our Great Fen project getting international attention. It is included in this article on peatland restoration alongside projects in Canada, Columbia and Borneo ahead of the GLF Peatlands conference in Bonn this week https://t.co/oD5RfEqRgZ
Today is World Peatlands Day!
Our Fens East Peat Partnership team have a new tool in their peatland restoration toolbox. This photo of Lakenheath Fen was taken by their drone which is helping identify damaged peat and monitor restoration works at a bigger scale + instantaneously.
It's #WorldPeatlandsDay! Will you help us celebrate by making a donation to support our work or becoming a member? Without you we'd be unable to look after the peatland in the Great Fen, protecting and restoring sites for wildlife and visitors to enjoy. 💚

Our walk from Milton to Cambridge takes you along the Cam past Baits Bite Lock to Jesus Lock via Chesterton and then up the hill to Castle Mound. A quiet riverside stroll along the towpath past pastures and meadows and sites once dug for their 'stones'. https://t.co/YNngcjtRbQ
Our walk from Wood Walton to Ramsey takes you through quiet countryside over the lower slopes of the hills to the south of Woodwalton Fen, passing plenty of hedgerows and small ditches before reaching Upwood Meadows National Nature Reserve. https://t.co/iuWG0nEWAW
