#PeatlandRestoration is not the most photogenic of subjects, but this blog from our partner #AssyntFoundation explains why it's important & what those diggers are doing on the heather. 👉 buff.ly/0yI3qFP Thanks PeatlandACTION. Great to see more carbon storing work happening in Assynt.

📌It’s #peatlandrestoration season
🚁You might notice helicopters airlifting materials to remote sites to help us restore damaged peat. Our contractors have just finished airlifting near Hartside in Cumbria.

Using helicopters is crucial to #peatlandrestoration - they take stone sediment traps to slow the flow of water & capture eroding peat to help retain it on the bog.

We will also be transporting coir logs - used to break up large patches of bare peat & protect exposed peat from wind & water erosion.
The image shows a wetland landscape under a clear blue sky. A series of small, interconnected stream channels run through the landscape, with grassy vegetation covering the surrounding terrain. Three visible check dams, constructed from tan-colored coir logs, are installed across the channels to slow water flow and reduce erosion. The logs are secured with white posts. The water in the channels is dark and reflects the sky. The background shows gently rolling hills covered in dry grasses. The overall impression is one of ecological restoration and water management. Credit: Joe Haywood The image shows a rural landscape with a stone baffle. A pile of light-colored stones sits in a pool surrounded by lush green vegetation. The water is dark and still, with aquatic plants visible beneath the surface. Peat edges define the background, topped with brown and green grasses, under a cloudless blue sky. Credit: Joe Haywood

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

How we're helping ancient peatbogs breathe again.🌬️
Peatlands cover just 3% of Earth, but store twice as much carbon than all the world's forests combined.
Here's why we are restoring an 8,000-year-old bog at Bunloit!
