🌿 PEAT & PEATLANDS IN WALES 🌱

Why should we care about peat? More than you might think!

After a year in which so many of our precious Welsh peatlands have been scorched by wildfires, there has never been a better time to discover just how environmentally important, ecologically fascinating and biologically rich our peatlands are.

From the windswept uplands to our often-overlooked lowland peatlands, these remarkable landscapes play a vital role in storing carbon, supporting biodiversity and shaping our environment.

And, as if by magic… along comes Dr Fred Slater with his informative and popular online course, Peat and Peatlands in Wales, starting in early October!

🌱 Discover what peat is, why peatlands matter, and the fascinating natural history of these extraordinary Welsh landscapes.

Come and dig a little deeper!
