Yes peatlands pull carbon out of the atmosphere and cool the climate. Yes peatlands prevent flooding AND drought. Yes peatlands improve water quality. But did you know that peatlands are home to some of the most beautiful, magical species on our planet? Please love a bog today.

More evidence to show that rewetting #peatlands is a win-win-win 1) reduced emissions; 2) C sequestration; 3) resilience to future climate chaos including wildfires. Our paper reviewed in this week @farmersjournal 👇🏽

When an animal flies or runs away from you, it uses valuable energy and could get injured. It may also abandon a nest or young. Keep your distance and have your dog close to you or on a lead to avoid this. More tips: ow.ly/XnnQ50NsAb9 #KnowTheCode #RespectProtectEnjoy
