What a beautiful nursery #PeatlandPlants #Sphagnum

Water emerges from the hillside and trickles slowly though the vegetation. Hummocks of sphagnum moss 🌿help to slow the flow of water downslope, reducing the chance of flooding after heavy rainfall💦 Natural flood management is one of the many benefits of #peatland restoration 😀
