Why peatlands are special
Peatlands, such as blanket bog, are wetland ecosystems which are made up of plant material that has not fully decomposed. They have a number of special qualities. Peatlands can store a huge amount of carbon, are the home to a diverse range of species and can even improve water quality. They also act as a natural flood barrier, show what past environments were like and provide opportunities for employment and recreation. Find out more about what makes peatlands special here:
