peat bog restoration

Peat bog restoration involves returning drained or degraded peatlands to their natural, waterlogged state. Bogs are important ecosystems that store carbon, support biodiversity, and regulate water flow. Restoration may include blocking drainage channels, re-establishing natural water levels, and replanting native plants like sphagnum moss. These efforts help to restore the bog’s structure and function, reducing greenhouse gases, protecting wildlife, and improving water quality. Overall, peat bog restoration aims to safeguard these valuable habitats and the many environmental benefits they provide.
