Join @yorkshirepeat.bsky.social for a day in the life working in conservation. On Yorkshire’s peatlands we use 'Eyes on the Bog' plots to monitor water, peat and plants, showing how revegetation, gully blocking and bunds boost wildlife and lock up carbon.

Fantastic to see coppicing happening at the entrance to Askham Bog, a @yorkswildlife.bsky.social nature reserve. Very important that people can see landscapes with active coppicing, and also very important to give more light to the many wet grassland wildflowers that live here
