Excellent Community Organising #TeamWilder workshop today for our Manx Wildlife Trust team facilitated by Bryony & Sara from The Wildlife Trusts A fantastic enabler for us to take our community empowerment to the next level. Well done @MWT_Ranger for organising it/us!🌱🇮🇲

Our peatland restoration work is made considerably easier by using our 'magic hammer' 😁🔨 If you look closely, you can see that the stakes are driven into the ground with no effort at all!

Having a pair of fluffy foot warmers (look closely 👀🐶) is essential when working on the hills in winter ❄️ We've started work on a new site, reprofiling peat hags so they can revegetate and keep that carbon locked away 😀

Happy Sphagnum Day❤️to all the bog lovers out there 😀 These amazing mosses are ecosystem engineers, creating the wet conditions they thrive in. They absorb lots of water and acidify their surroundings, slowing the decomposition of plants, leading to the formation of #peat ❤️

Find out how we've been restoring our peatland this winter by reading the latest blog on our website manxpeat.org 😊 We also have a new 'resources' page, where you can access reports on our upland wildlife among other things 💚

Just look at those colours 😍 It was a misty start on the hills today, but if you look down there is plenty of brightness to be found. Lichens and #Sphagnum mosses are particularly vibrant in the winter, making up for the lack of flowers 😊

The joy of pulling out sitka spruce saplings 😂🌲 These occasionally pop up on our peat restoration sites and can be damaging to these habitats. Over time, they can dry out the peat and act as a perch for predators of ground-nesting birds 🐦

Come and have a go at practical restoration work, while learning all about the vital role peatlands play on the Island😀 Places are limited, so reserve your spot here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/power-to-the…

Great to see #sphagnum establishing on coir netting and logs😃These little beauties are ecosystem engineers, creating the wet, acidic conditions needed for #peat formation on the hills. Not only do they benefit the climate, they can also reduce flooding and wildfire risk 💦🔥

Excellent the Wildlife Gardening Certificate (WGC) course we created at Manx Wildlife Trust is being trialed in 2025 by Kent Wildlife Trust North Wales Wildlife Trust It has been a success in #IsleOfMan enabling people to do their bit for nature at home & our hope is all The Wildlife Trusts offer it 🐝🌸🌱

🎉 Happy International Social Prescribing Day! 🌿🌳 Nature is a powerful tool for well-being. For many, time outdoors is more than fresh air—it's life-changing. Green prescribing reduces anxiety and saves NHS resources. Read more & have your say: wtru.st/3FCU25O

It's starting to feel like spring 🌱🌼 Perfect weather for some #peatland restoration ☺️

Have you ever wondered why we reprofile peat hags? Bare peat is easily eroded by water💦 and wind, causing the loss of valuable carbon. Reprofiling encourages the growth of vegetation, protecting #peatland habitats and reducing sediment washing into streams and reservoirs😃
