Peatlands, wetlands and bogs – the best weapon we have against climate change and locking away carbon. Sphagnum moss is the most important plant in these habitats which are Cumbria’s most important carbon store. Unfortunately lack of care has left these habitats a brown and broken wasteland leaking carbon, that has been locked away for thousands of years, back in into our warming atmosphere. Working with the Cumbria Wildlife Trust participants will carry out important peatland conservation work by constructing small dams in a drained peat bog using loose rock collected on site, and move peat-forming Sphagnum mosses from nearby. The approach is a 1 mile walk up an uneven, steep path. The clinic will take place in Low Tilberthwaite (25min drive), with an organised shuttle from the Sticklebarn.
