Visit to Chat Moss area yesterday to plan our new long-term monitoring site with @naturalengland.bsky.social looking at tree establishment and understanding more about trees and #peat in the context of restoration. The work is part of the @wetwoodlands.bsky.social network of monitoring sites.

Does anyone else still have their lovely #PeatConf24 Sphagnum gift from @iucn-uk-peat.bsky.social? I ended up with three and they’re doing surprising well with little (no) input from me! #peat
