SWPP is a proud collective of 20+ organisations working with landowners, commoners, farmers, charities, volunteers & local interest groups to make a positive difference to the future of our region's peatlands. Our funders are tagged on this pic of lovely cotton grasses on Exmoor.

It's fantastic to see the shallow pools of water, created by #peatlandrestoration works on Exmoor, filling up with incredible peat-forming sphagnum mosses only 6 months on from when they were created.

To west Cornwall & Penwith Moors SSSI. Stunning landscape, unique wildlife, carbon, history, farming & culture. Out with Natural England colleagues to hear from farmers & other partners about the challenges at hand in sustaining Nature while also sustaining local farm businesses.

Its definitely restoration season in the #GreatNorthBog. Seriously, if you applied for the 2 assistant posts earlier today, this is 80% of your working life. We look forward to meeting you...

A beautiful sunny Friday, out on remote Dartmoor. 7 diggers busy creating peat bunds to slow down the flow of water, raise and (crucially) stabilise the water table in the #peat, and helping to create the conditions needed for peat-forming sphagnum mosses to colonise and thrive.

Before➡️During➡️After. Fixed Point Photography is one of the ways our monitoring team track changes & our impact, like these from earlier this year down in W. Penwith, Cornwall. Holding back water, slowing the flow, raising water table, catching sediment & diversifying habitat.

Halloween PSA - there are some actual bloodsuckers out there. Found a tick crawling on my hand today after a walk. If you’re out in the #GreatNorthBog or even just a local meadow, check yourself over when you get in - Lyme disease is much scarier than vampires…

The UK is one of the world's most nature-depleted countries, with on average about half its biodiversity left. We're taking ambitous & science-backed steps to diversify birdlife habitat on Dartmoor, increase bog-plant variety in Cornwall and create space for insects on Exmoor.

What better way to celebrate #WorldSoilDay than bouncing across a soggy bog with #peat beneath your feet? Thanks to South West Peatland Partnership for the tour of Crowdy Marsh restoration site and damp mince pies.
