Our last day in the office will be Tuesday 23rd December before breaking up for the holidays. We'll return on Monday 5th January 2026, ready to continue delivering our BeadaHumok® and moorland plug plants for more peatland restoration projects!

1/2 That's a wrap on volunteer sphagnum planting days in 2025. This year around 20,000 sphagnum plugs have been planted in the #PeakDistrict and #SouthPennines by Moors for the Future Partnership volunteers, helping to work towards the target of over 1,500,000 for 2025-26. #sphagnum

#SphagnumMonday - feast your eyes on this #festive coloured sphagnum. Head to the link in our bio to find out about this amazing moss and why it's being planted on the moors of the #PeakDistrict and #SouthPennines. #MondayMotivation #1stOfDecember

We're delighted that 'The most important plant in the world' by Caroline Vitzthum has been selected for the 2025 Frome International Climate Film Festival and has recently been screened at the Little Tree Cinema in Frome. The link to the full film can be found below: lnkd.in/gaB9XJ6w

We're delighted to see Sphagnum moss getting the attention it deserves on the latest episode of Countryfile! Check out Sunday’s episode here if you didn’t catch it: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

We hosted our partners from @moorsforthefuture.bsky.social at BeadaMoss HQ this week. It was a great opportunity to showcase some of our micropropagation processes and to hear first-hand from one of our largest partners about the real-world challenges of upland peatland restoration!

🕷🎃It’s a story of treat rather than trick this #Halloween in the North Pennines. At Fiends Fell you might expect ghouls or demons, but instead you’ll find a much more friendly team carrying out #peatlandrestoration work to benefit people and nature. #northpenninesnationallandscape #peatlandsmatter

The team are hard at work fulfilling partner orders as the peatland planting season gets underway. This time of year marks the ramp-up of restoration activity across the UK’s moorlands. One of our vans can carry around 90,000 individual BeadaHumok® sphagnum plugs! #Peatland #Sphagnum #Restoration

A huge thank you to @greifswaldmoor.bsky.social for featuring us and our BeadaHumok® in their first-ever Paludi Product Catalogue! Make sure to check us out on page 37 here: lnkd.in/exCCcE8R #Peatlands #BeadaHumok #Sphagnum

We will be in Derry~Londonderry from 30th September - 2nd October for the 15th annual IUCN UK Peatland Programme Conference. We’re looking forward to another chance to network with fellow attendees, visit peatland sites and participate in knowledge-sharing sessions. If you see us, please do say hi!

We will be in Greifswald, Germany from 23rd-25th September for the RRR2025 Renewable Resources from Wet and Rewetted Peatlands Conference. If you're attending, please do come and say hello! Photo below shows a roll of our wonderful BeadaHumok®.

Autumn is on the way, and with the change in season, so comes the change in colours. Once Sphagnum moss has established in a peatland environment, the different species develop their natural colours, and we think it’s just beautiful – particularly these autumnal hues of red and burnt orange.

We hope everyone is staying safe and cool in this heatwave. Remember, picnics not BBQs if you’re out on the moors!

This #BogDay we want to showcase how enchanting bogs can be and why continued peatland restoration and protection is so important. Bogs are incredible eco-warriors on climate change, storing huge amounts of carbon within the peat, as well as providing a habitat for wildlife.
