Repairing the living, breathing, fragile skin of a poorly bog generates a smile that creeps up from my toes 😊

After 3 month break for nesting birds it was back to measuring dipwells today. Following the dam installations this chappie had been submerged for a long time, but has reappeared on our crispy moors. Good to see some surviving pools and dragonfly activity. @moorsforthefuture.bsky.social

I've managed to get a conversation going with highpeak council, after 3 years. Next year I hope to have a couple of trial plots near where I live. Baby steps! Lack of the right cut and collect equipment given as the reason.

A well made and moving film, worth watching on a larger screen to see the incredible drone footage by Derby Mountain rescue. Sadly they're all probably busy again today attending the fire off the Snake Pass. 🤞🏼 For a rainy bank holiday!🤞🏼

Happy #worldwetlandsday I'm looking forward to another year of berries, bugs, waders, bats, grasses, flowers, predators, chirpers, buzzers...... These often overlooked areas have so much to offer

I love these, and of course the preferred flower of the orange tip butterfly to lay eggs on. However HighPeak council massacre them every year in late April in the early stages of the butterfly life cycle. But it's ok, they adhere to nomow May 🤦🏼‍♀️

Given the unequivocal need for a ban on the use of peat in the horticulture industry, it is very disappointing to see this news released yesterday by the Royal Horticultural Society www.rhs.org.uk/advice/peat/... #PeatFree #Horticulture 📷 Charles Warner
