An important event for bogs: the Peatland Action programme has been relaunched. Much of the funding for the projects that we have been doing to restore Portmoak Moss has come from Peatland Action via SNH.

PCWG were represented at Holyrood when the programme was introduced to MSPs and also at the Red Moss, near Edinburgh where the Climate Change Secretary saw just what bogs and mosses are like and why they are important. We were expecting a chap in a pinstripe suit, bowler hat and carrying a furled umberella, but it turned out to be Rosanna Cunningham.
