Water emerges from the hillside and trickles slowly though the vegetation. Hummocks of sphagnum moss 🌿help to slow the flow of water downslope, reducing the chance of flooding after heavy rainfall💦 Natural flood management is one of the many benefits of #peatland restoration 😀

Nice video highlighting #PeatlandBiodiversity.
Restoring moorland landscapes enhances them as habitats for the wonderful range of species that live there, from plant species like cotton grass and crowberry, to birds like dunlin and short-eared owl. #peatlandsmatter #biodiversity @stwater
