@ACRESWestConn @agriculture_ie @ACRES CP is great opportunity to reward farmers through results-based payments to protect and enhance coastal habitats and birds (incl. Corncrake and Chough). Mary & team’s advice and support to farmers will maximise benefits of the scheme for farmers and their local environment

[FarmPEAT Project @farmpeatproject]

Our first #peatrestoration training day is underway 🚜 This is also our first farmer taking on slow the flow measures. Big win for the peatlands today 🏆

@unpeatable 👏👏well done Bjorn

[Derek McLoughlin @dtmcloughlin]

Great to meet and chat with farmers in our Donegal target areas. There is a great willingness amongst the farmers to protect important habitats & species

[Paddy Crushell @pcrushell]

👏👏 fantastic project - looking forward to hearing you’re discoveries on how the midland raised bog landscape has altered over recent centuries.

[Terry R Morley @eco_morley]

We're finally at it! After years of preliminary work and a fair amount of persistence, we will document over 200 years of peatland change. It's a great group and looking forward to using these #historical #bog #maps and getting on the ground. @SoGAIS_NUIG

[Derek McLoughlin @dtmcloughlin]

Agreed. In Ireland 20k farmers will be part of the Cooperation Element of the CSP AECM from 2023. This has been designed around the work of #EIPagri and @LIFEprogramme funded projects. It has potential to hugely benefit farmers & env via a ‘more’ integrated land use policy

[Corncrake/Traonach LIFE @CorncrakeLife]

Farmers of Donegal, Mayo and Galway

WE NEED YOU!!!

Many framers might have nettles growing in old farmyard manure near sheds or buildings.

We will happily transplant them for you and create cover for corncrakes.

Get in touch with us and please give a RT twitter 😀

Great article by @amyforde6 in @farmersjournal on the ability of results based payment schemes to deliver climate benefits by incentivising and rewarding farmers. Huge change in short time on this Donegal farm - well done Jimmy 👏 @pearl_mussel @agriculture_ie @farmpeatproject

[Amy Forde @amyforde6]

"The scheme gives me a small sense that I’m doing my bit for the environment and I’m getting rewarded for it." Great to chat to James Forrest recently about rewetting a bog he used to cut turf on for the @pearl_mussel project. https://t.co/SA9kMhqucF

@NiallOB @mapalljohn @greifswaldmoor @TannebergerF @IUCNpeat Fantastic!! Had the pleasure of visiting them with IMCG in 2005!! Amazing places bright red with Sphagnum magellanicum!!

[Paddy Crushell @pcrushell]

Looking forward to presenting at #PeatlandPavilion at #Cop26 tomorrow on use of results-based agri-env payments to deliver improved outcomes for farmed peatlands. See links 👇
