Just a trio to highlight the beauty of bogs. To defend their future, and ours, we need to defend the bogs. That means no more horticultural peat, no more industrial-scale peat mining, no landfills on bogs.
And the benefits? Beautiful wildlife: butterflies, Skylarks, Cuckoos, Curlews, Otters. Clean air: carbon storage. Clean water: flood control. Economic growth: a healthy environment brings tourists to see our landscapes. Education: study how bogs function to stabilize climate, improve water and air quality, and how they function as ecosystems. Recreation: bog walks, rambling, cycling, horse riding, boating.
And all of this for not destroying our bogs…
