Peatlands Comms Officer at Lancashire Wildlife Trust. Peat is awesome! Views are my own (apart from that 'peat is awesome' - surely everyone agrees with that!)

Thank you so much to the wonderful and lovely staff @PizzaExpress Preston who paid for my 12 year old son's meal yesterday when he was out on his first date!!! His request for the bill was met with "don't worry, we've covered it" 🥰 See, there are great things in the world!

Thankfully the background of me singing "wibble wobble, wibble wobble jelly fungus on a branch" was removed by our amazing comms teams 😂
Jelly fungus at Longworth Clough! 🧡 Our Comms Officer Jenny Bennion spotted this beauty recently on a walk to Longworth Clough, Egerton. The reserve is absolutely booming with all sorts of different fungi at the moment 🍄

Here I am, hiding in the background whilst Jim (quite rightly stole the show) - you can hear me blethering on in the full version on YouTube though. But I fully understand if you feel like sticking pins in your eyes would be preferable...
Did you catch @visitBrockholes on @BBCNWT last night? 📺 Our wonderful volunteer Jim & Communications Officer @bennion_jenny discussed the wonders of autumn at Brockholes and just how enjoyable getting outdoors this season can be. Watch the full version:

Anyone else that pleased to be wearing a high vis and waterproofs? Just me then 😂
An amazing day looking at bogs, sphagnum moss, 7,000 year old bog trees. Hosting Leibniz University of Hannover and Region Hannover to talk through shared experiences across revegetation of peatlands, sphagnum farming for peat alternatives and carbon farming. #SphagnumMonday

A glorious, if somewhat soggy morning spent doing some serious rhododendron destruction and mushroom spotting at Mere Sands Wood🍄 And not a spot of peat in sight! If you can get outdoors and do some volunteering - it's just a great way to spend your time 💚 @Lancswildlife

Oh look everyone, extracting more oil and gas is actually a really good idea - and the government has handily provided us the children's tv animation to tell us why. Not sure about anyone else but I just love being patronised whilst also being lied to. Good grief 😠
Today we're welcoming the decision by @NSTAuthority to grant consent for a new Rosebank development. It will bring £ billions into our economy and secure thousands of jobs - while supporting our energy security 🇬🇧 Find out more:

I love bogs, but sometimes it doesn't feel like they love me back... On yesterday's @CarePeat #Power2Peatlands field trip to Zwarte Beek in Belgium it was raining, the mossies were feasting, and I'd only had 3 hours sleep (my own fault). But THERE WAS POST FIELD TRIP CAKE!!! 💚

Soggy Belgian boggy! The final field trip of @CarePeat #Power2Peatlands at the Valley of the Black Creek peatlands. Rain, bog bean and some awesome bog mowers! 🚜 Although I might be feeling the effects of last night's peat rave now...

Wowsers trousers 👖 This graph rather emphasises the importance of a bit of soggy black soil... #Power2Peatlands

Winmarleigh Moss is not only home to the newly reintroduced sundews (which i forgot to take a photo of) but also delicious bog cranberries! The main question, can I pick enough for Xmas Dinner?
