Always a treat to get out on a bog and we were superbly British quaffing mince pies in the driving rain. #peatlife

[IUCN UK Peatlands @IUCNpeat]

What better way to celebrate #WorldSoilDay than bouncing across a soggy bog with #peat beneath your feet? Thanks to @SWPeatland for the tour of Crowdy Marsh restoration site and damp mince pies.

Science, nature, youth, volunteers, Belgian beer: my summary of #RCF24ENCA. Great to see so many inspiring female leaders part of this 17,000-strong army of conservation professionals.

We've been flying the flag for #peatlands at #RCF24ENCA, meeting an incredible bunch of inspiring @IUCN delegates. Great to see many representatives from @iucnncuk and other @IUCN_CEM members sharing knowledge with the world's biggest union.

@IUCNpeat is proud to support early career researcher Jessica Gauld in understanding if and how palaeoecology is used in #peatland restoration - if not, why not? Please share with practitioner friends!

[IUCN UK Peatlands @IUCNpeat]

📢Are you a #peatland site manager or restoration practitioner? Then we need your help!

Please give 10 minutes of your time to help us understand how palaeoecological research is utilised in UK peatland restoration projects.

I know there's a day for everything these days, but isn't it great there's one for #peatlands? Get planning for this year's #BogDay and let's get more people than ever celebrating these awesome ecosystems!

[IUCN UK Peatlands @IUCNpeat]

#BogDay - which celebrates the brilliance of bogs - is on Sunday 28 July this year!

If you're planning an event to raise awareness about #peatlands, please let us know and we'll add it to the website.

I had great fun chairing this workshop with a fascinating and diverse range of talks on all things #biodiversity related - with a #peatland flavour of course. My voice is lower in my head though #cringe

I just took part in The Big Plastic Count, as we’re still producing far too much plastic. @_RobbieMoore, will you lead the way at the negotiations for a Global Plastics Treaty and push for a cut in production of at least 75% by 2040?
