An exciting topic at the @iucn-uk-peat.bsky.social #PeatConf26 was the role of trees in peatland. Often viewed as the 'enemy' given their role in aerating and drying peatlands through their roots and evapotranspiration, we now know that they can be integral parts of some peatland ecosystems.

It’s the #ElanValley site where wildfire stopped at restored peatland in May. An informative presentation concluding there are no simple answers, but that restoration supports the aim for sustainable & resilient landscapes.
