Today I will be engaging in discussions around the management of lowland agricultural #peat in light of the Environment Improvement Plan 2025. Insightful talks from Katherine Birdsall of the #EnvironmentAgency and Ian Moodie from #ADA regarding #LAPWDP & #LAPSIP

Interesting day at #Nattergal’s #WildFen with #NatureBroking
discussing #carboncredits and the environmental services provided by rewetting #peat. Lovely to see cattle egret, marsh harrier & fieldfare. #rewilding

Our @harperadamsuni.bsky.social #Zoology students are working with Fenland Soil to kickstart the transgenerational conversation around #paludiculture
Jonathon, the last of 500 #potato farmers in the #Fens explained to them how conventional farming on >90% SOC soils was not sustainable.

The reality is that #food is too cheap. Producing #nutrient rich food which supports ecosystem services and a resilient nature rich landscape costs money. We need to value food more in our personal budgets and work to reform #farming culture. #foodsecurity #regenerativefarming #animalwelfare

Today in Co. Wicklow #SAC I was hopeful that I might see the Irish Dipper. These enigmatic birds are indicators of good water quality. Sadly there was little wildlife to be seen. Some hooded crows, mostly thrush and a red deer. www.ucc.ie/en/dippers/d...

Travelling by #train is my preferred method of transportation. I also enjoy traveling by #bus & #tram - but unless you live in a #city it’s not sustainable ( #time & #money ). Today because my car is in for repair I am improving my #carbon footprint but it’s is taking twice the time & cost.

Exploring opportunities for rewetting #peat around #Greifswald with co-delegates #RRR2025 from @UniversityCollegeDublin @dougmcmillan.bsky.social and others from #PalusDemos
what does it/could it look like? #reedbeds #typha #grass for cattle and buffalo #wetwoodlands with #blackalder

Many highlights today @greifswaldmoor.bsky.social from #peatland #economics to eating #peat - It tasted like chocolate! An incredible expansion of the #paludi fair from a one man band that was and is #Aldert to this in just a few years. The list of paludiculture products is growing.

Fascinating talk about the conflict between conservation organisations and the #reed cutting industry by Andy Dobson @greifswaldmoor.bsky.social #RRR2025 - a more equitable power model is required.

Interesting points re #gender & #social & #human capital in #wetland management @greifswaldmoor.bsky.social #RRR2025 from UCD’s Dr Kate Flood: 30% of farms in #Ireland are owned by #women many on #peat - improve social resilience to improve ecological resilience (Dr Kate Flood, UCD).

When I consider my personality I would use the words #nomad #freespirit and #orang-utan. I love to be walking, travelling, exploring. I do not like to be tied and I prefer to be paired, alone or in small, sometimes transient, groups. Travelling to Germany today all these traits will be expressed.
