Friday Fieldwork!

Back out on the bogs again this week, however this time it's for a different piece of work for @ukceh.bsky.social!

This time was going out to change over monitoring cameras - some work I'm looking forward to start helping with :)

Last Friday's Fieldwork!

First fieldwork of 2025 on the South Cumbrian peatlands!

Interesting to see Hannah's moth recording; atmospheric chemistry; and water table work - plus how we can use the data for long term environmental management
