In its carbon budget, the Govt gave its clearest commitment yet to banning the use of horticultural peat. The hort industry uses 760,000 cubic metres of peat a year so a 2031 timeframe really isn't good enough. Please sign the petition now: actnow.peatfreepartnership.org.uk/end-peat-sal...
Sign the petition to end peat sales!
No more delays: Let's get peat out of gardens once and for all. The time for uncertainty has ended.

We use peat bunds to slow the flow of water across the surface of the bog and hold peat sediment back on the moor. Once that's happening, vegetation can establish. Can you spot the bund?

When old meets new. Two restoration interventions, 10 years apart. The timber dam has been overgrown by #Sphagnum and #Cottongrass. We then added a coir log to improve water retention in some part of the gully. #PeatlandRestoration #SphagnumMonday #GreatNorthBog
