Installing plastic dams in some old drains on Cuilcagh Mt today! Only a few plastic dams where it’s too steep for peat. Found some odd creatures in the drains! @UlsterWildlife @theCANNproject @cuilcaghlakes #cuilcagh #cannproject

A is for Ammonia Testing on #CANNproject sites. Ammonia is a form of nitrogen deposited on our peatlands from the air. Peatlands are N-limited systems and are very sensitive to damage @ulsterwildlife @seupb @IUCNpeat
Waters starting to back up already! Plastic dams on the Fairy Water Bogs! Hope we can drown out that Rhody regrowth! @theCANNproject @UlsterWildlife #peatlands #bogs #cannproject
First in our series of Birds on Bogs, #CANNproject partner The Golden Eagle Trust #eagle_trust will be sharing some of their fave sightings. Stonechats are occasionally seen on our project sites giving their classic "2 pebbles knocking" call. So pretty.

G is for Golden (or Beautiful) Bog moss, Sphagnum pulchrum, shining gold and living up to its name. This is officially the only ‘threatened’ moss on #CANNproject sites. @ulsterwildlife @seupb

#BiodiversityWeek Day 3's theme is Health Food and Biodiversity. Reminds me of wandering one of #CANNProject's sites in the winter marking the location of bilberry bushes so I would know where to come in late summer for a feast!
#BiodiversityWeek Day 2's theme is the conservation of Biodiversity. Fabulous before and after pics of clearing an infestation of rhododendron on one of #CANNproject's sites in Scotland

LiDAR, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging, is a remote sensing method that uses light in the form of a pulsed laser to measure ranges (variable distances) to the Earth. ... #CANNproject use LiDAR to find and map drains in the bogs
Bogs are better wetter but if you’ve km of drains to block, where to start? RPS hydrologists analysed LiDAR data from 13 raised bogs in @theCANNproject & id-ed where dams would maximise peat formation; blue & green to go in first. @UlsterWildlife @seupb @interregeurope #BSW2020
Fieldfares on the move this morning next to Tully Bog @theCANNproject @eagle_trust @UlsterWildlife #cannproject
Amazing colours on the Fairy Water Bogs on these cold mornings doing water monitoring, had to unfreeze the dip wells with my breath to open the lids! @theCANNproject @UlsterWildlife @IUCNpeat #CANNproject #peatlands #bogs
Taking a break from clearing scrub and learning about peatlands & the @theCANNproject one of @UlsterWildlife Nature Skills trainees gets some shut eye on a sphagnum hummock! #peatlands #sphagnumpillow #bogs #cannproject
