yep, tiny superheroe
Mosses make up most of the diversity in northern regions and often more than 50% of ecosystem productivity and carbon uptake from the atmosphere. Tiny superheroes. Where are my moss lovers?

At 3 sites in Galloway - where sitka should't be - folk turned up clad in bright colours to pluck them out.
Some brilliant photos from the Spruce Plucking World Championship events on Saturday - a chance to raise the topic of natural re-gen of spruce in unhelpful places #WorldChampionships #FantasticForestFestival

amazing pictures of peat restoration some 20 years after the work was completed. @fermanaghomagh @cuilcaghlakes! @UlsterWildlife
