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.

The UK is one of the world's most nature-depleted countries, with on average about half its biodiversity left. We're taking ambitous & science-backed steps to diversify birdlife habitat on Dartmoor, increase bog-plant variety in Cornwall and create space for insects on Exmoor.

Halloween PSA - there are some actual bloodsuckers out there. Found a tick crawling on my hand today after a walk. If you’re out in the #GreatNorthBog or even just a local meadow, check yourself over when you get in - Lyme disease is much scarier than vampires…

Before➡️During➡️After. Fixed Point Photography is one of the ways our monitoring team track changes & our impact, like these from earlier this year down in W. Penwith, Cornwall. Holding back water, slowing the flow, raising water table, catching sediment & diversifying habitat.

A beautiful sunny Friday, out on remote Dartmoor. 7 diggers busy creating peat bunds to slow down the flow of water, raise and (crucially) stabilise the water table in the #peat, and helping to create the conditions needed for peat-forming sphagnum mosses to colonise and thrive.

It's fantastic to see the shallow pools of water, created by #peatlandrestoration works on Exmoor, filling up with incredible peat-forming sphagnum mosses only 6 months on from when they were created.
