Did you know Scotland contains around 13% of the world's #blanketbog? 💦 Healthy #peatlands are excellent carbon stores. They also filter water, help reduce flood and wildfire risk, and provide vital habitats for a wide range of plants and animals 🐝

One natural solution, Josh, would be NOT to have what would be the largest onshore wind farm in England on Walshaw Moor. Do you agree? Lots of your constituents do.. 422 of them have signed our petition since Monday #slowtheflow #windfarm #flooding #hebdenbridge #haworth #bronte #blanketbog #peat

Surveying a central Scotland #blanketbog last week revealed a veritable floral feast including bog cranberry, heath spotted orchids and plenty of hare's tail cotton grass. With thanks to @bsbiscotland.bsky.social recorder Liz for sharing her expertise. Great to see such high biodiversity.
