  1. Walked with my sister and her kids up the College Valley in #Northumberland the other day. It was windy, with patchy sun and cloud, and the odd short shower blown in. My sister, who works in peat bog management, was impressed with the apparent bog restoration in places. Tree planting going on (with flourishing woods planted 30-odd years ago), free-ranging native cattle doing their thing, and sphagnum moss and bilberry growing thick.

  3. This gives perhaps a better idea of a lot of the terrain. Lots of peat bogs and groughs. But great to see the spring alpine flowers in abundance. Creeping azalea and Cloudberry.

  7. In a new blogpost, our #EntangledAfrica colleagues offer insight into their latest field research into the "#Archaeology and #Palaeoecology of the Inner #Congo Basin", analysing #PeatBog samples to reconstruct past #environment and #ClimateChange:

  9. I read this 👇 article on Peat bog restoration last night.

    I thought it was really interesting that there're more challenges to their restoration than just damning up the burns that drain the bog.

    There's some lovely photography of the bog plants in there too.

    "A vast area of peatbog in #Scotland's Flow Country could become one of #Unesco's newest #WorldHeritage sites. But why do some people believe the landscape deserves the attention?"

  12. Today was spent out with the Bog Squad at East Rhodens moss. The plastic you see is one of the two dams we put in a ditch to re-wet the moss.

    With less drainage, the sphagnum and other moisture loving plants will increase, the amount of bell heather decreases & tree saplings won't establish, improving habitat for a host of invertebrates - like the spectacular Emperor moth, the only member of the silk moth family that's native to the UK.
