We were very pleased to host this visit. Roseanna's department is responsible for funding the Peatland Action programme, which has paid for much of the restoration work on the Moss.

It was a good opportunity to show her the tremendous progress which has been made and to impress on her the importance of continued long term funding. She couldn't commit for the next 6000 years (the timescale for growth of raised peat bogs), but she said that she hoped to keep it going for the next few years.
