The Partnership has brought about the restoration of landscape laid waste by 150 years of industrial pollution and over 400 wildfires. It has raised £35 million and delivered restoration work to 33 square kilometres of degraded blanket bog with a large programme of associated engagement and science work - delivering critical evidence and a change in behaviour.
Dead remains of the sphagnum mosses pile up and get pressed together to eventually form the soil we know as peat. Peat forms at a very slow rate – 1mm per year or 1 metre per millennium.
