We have now updated our programme and are looking forward to six more work parties for the rest of the year.
Apart from our usual restoration work - such as ditch damming and scrub removal - we will also conduct peat depth surveys using a peat probe & GPS.
For this we will systematically measure the peat depth of the raised domes at some of our sites, so that the overall peat cover and therefore carbon storage for these bogs can be calculated - Some bogs can be up to 10m deep!
Check out the Peat Depth Survey Guidance by SNH for more info on what these surveys involve.
Weather permitting we are also looking forward to another moth trap morning or two...
So get your flasks, fleeces and waterproofs ready and join us for an interesting range of work parties in some great locations this autumn and winter.
Looking forward to see you there.
