Caledonian Climate #Peatland #Restoration #Freelance #Surveyor #Training #Day supported by @PeatlandACTION Sign up to our fieldwork training day taking place on Tuesday 19th September Register to the event here: eventbrite.com/e/peatland-res…

Yes peatlands pull carbon out of the atmosphere and cool the climate. Yes peatlands prevent flooding AND drought. Yes peatlands improve water quality. But did you know that peatlands are home to some of the most beautiful, magical species on our planet? Please love a bog today.

Together with Peatland ACTION, DHG Hydro & Highland Conservation, we have facilitated a rare 6-week apprenticeship for an ambitious individual in Wester Ross. Leodhas Macdonald will work on one of our #peatlandrestoration projects in the Highlands. caledonianclimate.com/news/2023/10/2…

Caledonian Climate 🤝 @WetlandsInt We are proud to be working with @WetlandsInt in an innovative partnership that will drive forward effective peatland restoration at scale in Scotland. Click the link for more information 👇🏼 caledonianclimate.com/news/2023/10/0…

Say hello to our new recruits 👋🏻 We are delighted to have welcomed two new faces to the Caledonian Climate team. Read our latest blog post below to discover what they will be bringing to Caledonian Climate 👇🏼 caledonianclimate.com/news/2023/10/0…

Today at @EcosystemsNet's #Naturefinance23 Conference we joined the conversation on green enterprise and the use of nature-based solutions to tackle the climate emergency. Thank you to everyone who visited our stand to discover the power of #peatlandrestoration.

Team Caledonian Climate lunch last week 💚🏔️🌱

A slightly different view this week as we carry out a feasibility survey at a potential #ForestToBog site near Elgin 🌲 Here, we are taking a Herbivore Impact Assessment (HIA) measurement using a quadrant to better understand the vegetation structure of the area

More evidence to show that rewetting #peatlands is a win-win-win 1) reduced emissions; 2) C sequestration; 3) resilience to future climate chaos including wildfires. Our paper reviewed in this week @farmersjournal 👇🏽

@ForestCarbon_UK @flo_renouwilson @farmersjournal @EPAResearchNews @EPAIreland @BordnaMona @noonan_malcolm @IFAmedia @ucdscience @Renee_Hermans @Angusdavidsonl1 Absolutely. This kind of scientific data is crucial for highlighting the underpinning benefits of wetland restoration. Encouraged by the @SylveraCarbon and CEH collaboration recently announced for the same reason. Thanks for sharing.

@flo_renouwilson @farmersjournal @EPAResearchNews @EPAIreland @BordnaMona @noonan_malcolm @IFAmedia @ucdscience @Renee_Hermans @Angusdavidsonl1 @CaleyClimate interesting to note the carbon sequestration rate recorded within the initial 5 year period post restoration.

Out on the the #IsleOfLewis last week surveying a new #peatland area

An incredible scene showcasing of one of our #restored #peatland sites in #wester #ross during a #monitoring visit yesterday This is #textbook #peatland #restoration in #Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏔️🌱

Happy #SphagnumMonday Some lovely pools of fresh water dotted across this peatland area in #Stirlingshire 🌱

Severe #peatland #erosion seen out on site today in #Perthshire This is an #actively #eroding #flat #bare area with peat #islands and #peat #hags The good news is that we are surveying it, so it is one step closer to #restoration and #recovery through @PeatlandACTION

#Peatland #Restoration in action #today during our weekly visits to one of our active sites This site is looking incredible only a few weeks in

Happy #SphagnumMonday from a peatland site in #Stirlingshire #Scotland Can you spot the dragonfly? 🐉

Interesting little corner of #vegetation spotted whilst out surveying on the #Scottish #peatlands near #Loch #Tummel today 🌱

Lots of these #frogs seen out in #Highland #Perthshire today Anyone know anymore about them? Correct name perhaps

Wet start to the day as we head out to survey a #peatland site near #Loch #Tummel today 🏔️🌱🥾
