What noise does a Sphagnum make? Well we should know soon thanks to Sarah Smout's recording project #SphagnumMonday #GreatNorthBog

As well as being just *beau*tiful, #Sphagnum is a hardy little plant! Look at this little plug just basking in the hail #GreatNorthBog

Just been taking a quick peek at the #Sphagnum (and other bog plants) at our mini #Peatland at Cliffe Castle. Great to see the plants settling in to a tiny fragment of the #GreatNorthBog in an accessible location.

Come and help us spread the #Sphagnum love - we're recruiting two Peat Project Officers to help us make the #GreatNorthBog as boggy and... um... sphagnumy as possible: It will not always be a sunny as this picture.

@NickMoyes Very true. But this one is a bit special: it is also to monitor dragonfly habitats and they like spending time in trees 🙂

We recently started monitoring our #Sphagnum plugs. They are doing quite well: in 10 months, they increased to 10 times their original size #SphagnumMonday #GreatNorthBog #PeatlandRestoration

You got us past 5,000 signatures, you scamps - thank you so much! Can you get us past 7,000‽ We just want retailers to tell us whether their products have peat in the supply chain (esp so we can highlight the ones that are doing right by the bog):

The snow's not been around that long and there's eroded peat all over it! It demonstrates how fast erosion can take place and how important it is to restore our uplands #PeatlandRestoration #GreatNorthBog
