Coir logs being slowly swallowed by sphagnum on Cuilcagh, really pleased with how well this work has gone up here Ulster Wildlife #cuilcagh #peatland restoration #peatland

This unassuming moss isn't just green fluff! Bog-hair moss is a total bog champion, thriving in the harsh conditions most plants would struggle with.

Local company John Mackay Ltd making good progress this week out on our hill with 31,000m of drain blocking over a 160ha site. Some before and after shots for a comparison. This is a joint project between ourselves and SSE Renewables #Peatlands #FlowCountry #PeatlandRestoration

We've built 80+ 'micro' dams on degraded peatland at our #GlenFinglas estate.
When these silt up we will plant plugs of sphagnum moss to restore the bog so it will capture carbon again. ๐ฑ
We think of them as 'peatland paddy fields'.

Some day to be out in the machines today anyway! ๐คฉ Keeping my hand in between cattle scanning and sheep scanning getting busy! Not all heroโs wear capes #savingtheplanet #peatlandrestoration
Serious dripping off the side of this hag keeping the erosion going! Hopefully, restoration is on its way! #PeatlandRestoration #GreatNorthBog
Making full use of Department of Environment, Food and Agricultureโs Polaris RZR Ranger to transport coir logs to one of our restoration sites. What an amazing place to live and work. #peatlandrestoration
The first of our timber dams going in on #SlieveDonard to reverse decades of erosion. The dams retain water and eroding peat to form ideal habitats for re-colonising #sphagnum mosses.

Look at all this green! A good example of rewetting: Sphagnum cuspidatim growing around coir bunds in newly formed pools! #SphagnumMonday #GreatNorthBog #PeatlandRestoration
