The carnivorous lifestyle of the round-leaved sundew makes this peatland plant a fascinating species 🌱

The sundew is a strange and beautiful plant that can be found sitting among the soggy sphagnum mosses at the shores of bog pools, on wet heaths and peaty moors.

🌾 Grazing in the uplands

🐏 Sheep nibble at vegetation low to the ground to create a short, generally uniform, sward (area of grass)

🍃🔥 Grazing is also vital for wildfire prevention, reducing fuel loads, modifying vegetation, and aiding ecosystem recovery

📣🐾Calling all dog walkers

🐶We can play our part in helping wildlife, by keeping our dogs on short leads in wild places.

🪺Keeping your dogs on a lead is essential to prevent dogs harming ground-nesting birds and protect livestock.

🌿Damaged peatlands contribute an estimated 10% of global greenhouse gases.

💧Lowland peatlands like the Ballaugh Curraghs can form when a shallow lake fills in with partially decomposed vegetation over thousands of years.
