Went for a bimble up onto the local moors today and shocked by how much exposed peat there is. As mentioned on the @reclaimourmoors.bsky.social walk on Sunday exposed peat will quickly release CO2 whereas healthy peat is a great store for carbon.

Excellent protest walk today across part of the Duke's trashed moorland. The mismanagement is not just "alleged", it's glaringly obvious. And it's not only about wildlife: degraded peat moorland releases carbon and contributes to climate change, and heather burning causes the majority of wildfires.

🌱 Imagine how much richer the moors could be if they were owned by the community as a whole. We could restore them to their former glory, and we’d all benefit from cleaner air, reduced flood risk and abundant wildlife as a result. 📣 It’s time to reclaim our moors.
