Rhododendron cleared and controlled now for 3 years at Peatlands Park and there are now hundreds of Alder Buckthorn saplings coming through! This is one of the sites designation features! @UlsterWildlife @daera_ni @theCANNproject #peatlandspark

I visited the Pool Woods Trail in Killarney National Park where @npwsBioData worked with @NCBI_sightloss to develop a wonderful sensory trail. I found a well camouflaged frog and put him up safely off the path @DeptHousingIRL #AutismAwareness

We had some extra help with our fieldwork this week. The QUB MEng Hydrology class came along to learn about the hydrology of blanket bogs. Hopefully they have all dried off by now! @EPAResearchNews

Great to see much needed increase in funding for peatland conservation and restoration in #Budget2020. Our research will assist in quantifying the ecosystem services benefits of blanket bogs to water @EPAResearchNews

Department of Culture, Communications and Sport@DeptCultureIRL

#Budget2020 €7m in funding to embark on an accelerated programme of peatlands restoration & conservation works. This programme will result in 1,800 hectares of restored peatland in 2020, & ultimately the storage of 28m tonnes of carbon. #Peatlands bit.ly/Budget2020CHG

Difficult reading for our peatland habitats in particular, but some positive signs from restoration efforts. A lot more work required! @EPAResearchNews @npwsBioData @LIFEraisedbogs

BEC Consultants@BECecology

The current status of protected habitats and species in Ireland has been published. We were delighted to contribute to this piece of work. Lots to be concerned about, but signs of improvement for some habitats and species. npws.ie/sites/default/…

This #IPCC report concerns #Ireland as #Peatland degradation is particularly relevant given their very high carbon storage and their sensitivity to changes in soils, hydrology and vegetation. Check out Chapter 4 ipcc.ch/site/assets/up… @EPAClimateNews @EPAResearchNews

Spotted this little guy during some fieldwork at the Garron Plateau SAC. A Viviparous lizard, (Zootoca vivipara) very well camouflaged among the heather, but stood still long enough for a quick photo! @EPAResearchNews @niwnews @daera_ni
