It’s a wrap for now! Restoration on next Autumn’s sites need planning, whilst nature will thrive on the new bunds and pools. Soon sphagnum will spread across the surface, later forming new layers of peat to offer a sustainable habitat for the bog’s unique species. @natreswales.bsky.social

Diwedd y tyrchu am y tro! Cynllunio am safleoedd yr Hydref nawr, gan roi saib i natur ffynnu ar y byndiau a’r pyllau newydd. Cyn bo hir bydd mwsogl migwyn yn lledu ar y wyneb, yna’n ffurfio haenau newydd o fawn i greu cynefin cynaliadwy i rywogaethau unigryw'r gors. @natreswales.bsky.social

Thanks to peatland contractors - our land healers! They skilfully deliver our specialists’ detailed plans, thereby restoring peatland to landscapes that retain water and mitigate against fire spread. #HighNatureLowCarbon #WalesPeatlandAction @natreswales.bsky.social @iucn-uk-peat.bsky.social

Diolch i gontractwyr mawndir – ein tirfeddygon! Nhw sy'n gweithredu cynlluniau manwl ein harbenigwyr, gan adfer mawndir i dirweddau sy'n dal dŵr ac yn amddiffyn rhag lledaeniad tân. #NaturUwchCarbonIs #AdferMawndirCymru @natreswales.bsky.social @iucn-uk-peat.bsky.social

Interesting read… “What we find is that the flow rate has decreased by about 30% post restoration.”

Saw some familiar friends (people & mosses) during my first week with @peatlandcymru.bsky.social as part of the NPAP survey team. Been a long time since I’ve been back to Cors Fochno and it was great to see the parts of the peatland I did my MSc on years ago still with Sphagnum austinii hummocks

#WorldWildlifeDay #WWD2026 Spotlight on a medicinal and aromatic bog plant: Bog myrtle (Myrica gale). Used as antiseptic and astringent, as well as beer flavouring, it’s also food for endangered species such as the rosy marsh moth caterpillar. @natreswales.bsky.social @bsbicymru.bsky.social

#DiwrnodBywydGwylltyByd Sylw i blanhigyn meddyginiaethol & aromatig arbennig y gors: Helygen Fair (Myrica gale). Fe'i defnyddiwyd am rinweddau gwrthseptig ag i roi blas ar gwrw ond mae hefyd yn fwyd i rywogaethau prin y mawndir e.e. lindys Gwrid y Gors. @natreswales.bsky.social #Natur
