We have a lovely new website 😍 Find out about our work at manxpeat.org

Spot the digger 👀 This camouflaged digger is busy zipping up drainage ditches on the far side of our site. This will reduce erosion and reset the surrounding peat 😁💚

The news is out! We're so proud of our wonderful volunteers for receiving the King’s Award for Voluntary Service (KAVS), the MBE-equivalent award for voluntary groups and all the amazing work that they do for Manx wildlife 📷 #TeamWilder #KAVS2024 mwt.im/news/manx-wild…

Some before and after shots of a BIG. Peat pipe😃 This eroding area has been reprofiled and the pipe entrance blocked, creating a lovely pool that will slow the flow of water and be a great wildlife habitat 🐦🌿

While reading the latest @_BTO mag I was pleasantly surprised to find a refreshingly honest article from @BiosphereIOM 🇮🇲 BTO Youth Rep @alexxkxng on the challenges of engaging young ppl with the natural world (not helped by the #Manx ☔️💨🥶). Keep fighting the good fight! 👌

2/2 Read the Cushag Code here: gov.im/media/402197/c… and the Weeds Act 1957 (as amended in 2013) here: gov.im/media/1357649/…

1/2 Cushag, our national flower🇮🇲is in bloom. An important native plant for invertebrates, it can be dangerous to livestock, esp if it gets into hay/silage. Tynwald amended the law in 2013, removing the obligation to pull it, unless a notice is served on you. See the Cushag Code:

What a treat to spend the afternoon at Beinn-y-Phott ⛰️ looking at the amazing work of @ManxPeat (Manx Peat Partnership). They’ve achieved amazing things in a relatively short period and at reasonable cost too! 💚 #MyBiosphere #IsleOfMan belated #BogDay trip @manxnature

#isleofman gets its 3rd #MotusWTS wireless receiving station. Check out motus.org , where you can find maps and information about this #global #project #manxmotus @manxnature @CalfObs @lucyjayneryan

Would you use the raft knowing a report has highlighted the water doesn't meet the minimum standards for bathing? The Manx Wildlife Trust questions if the decision is incentivising residents to swim in unsafe waters. #news #isleofman #manxradio manxradio.com/news/isle-of-m…

@ManxNatureMan @BiosphereIOM @iomcm @IOMGovernment @daffydowndilly @TimCrookall @iominfra @ManxRadio @EnergyFMNews @BBCIsleofMan @GefMongooseIOM @PublicHealthIOM Its truly shocking, how many times have the plans been opposed? Didn't they spend huge sums buying the glen? There should be signs warning people not to swim.

The Garwick raw sewage outfall within the (supposedly) highly protected Laxey Bay Marine Nature Reserve @ 17:55, Sat 29 Jun ‘24 (32yrs after the announcement of a solution)!🚽When will this disrespectful treatment of our citizens & natural environment finally end?! @BiosphereIOM

A guided walk around our newest @manxnature nature reserve Glion Darragh at West Baldwin this evening led by Andree, with our friends from Isle of Man Woodland Trust. A wonderful site and part of our wider Temperate Rainforest programme with @AvivaUK @WildlifeTrusts 🌳🇮🇲🌲

A monumental day that has been 3 years in the planning: with our first Wheatears tagged @CalfObs. Many thanks to those who supported this project, incl Curraghs Wildlife Park, Jenny & Andrew Moore and @lucyjayneryan for much advice and training. Here's hoping for lots of pings!
