Happy #WorldSoilDay!🌍 Peatlands are carbon-capturing powerhouses, but human and industrial intervention have damaged these important soils, reducing the ecosystem services they are capable of. We work with UK landowners to restore degraded peatlands and repair our climate.🍃🐾

The cavalry have arrived! 🚁
Helicopters are the most efficient way to transport the heavy resources needed for #peatlandrestoration.
We design flight paths to minimise emissions, and include a 'payback period' of PCUs to mitigate their work.🌱
