Care-Peat: Restoring the carbon storage capacity of peatlands
Peatlands are not only habitats with a highly specialised flora and fauna, they also play an important role in global climate regulation. At Cors y Sarnau Nature Reserve new project officer Richard Cutts is working with international partners to improve our understanding of the processes involved, restore peatland and how our work can contribute to the Widlife Trusts' 30 by 30 campaign.
Keep peat in bogs
Peatlands are one of our most important habitats, providing homes for rare wildlife and locking up carbon, helping us tackle climate change. But in the UK over 80% are damaged. Partly due to our use of peat as a compost and using it to grow products such as house plants and mushrooms. North Wales Wildlife Trust, together with the Wildlife Trusts across the UK, is campaigning to keep peat in bogs and not bags.
Upland spring, flush and fen
These tiny habitats, the source of our streams and rivers, are fundamental to the well-being of whole water catchments.
