We welcome the Secretary of State's commitment to invest in tree-planting - but that investment cannot come at a cost to our peatlands. This investment needs to be in peat-free trees. #EndPeatSales Read more loom.ly/tuoCJOA

Sunnies off. Wellies on. We’re going to the bog 🌿 Did you know that in the UK, our bogs are also known as peatlands, because they’re stuffed full of peat – the stuff you can still find in bagged compost. Follow us to join our mission to save our bogs from this fate! #EndPeatSales

This week Waitrose responded to one of our campaigners, explaining that demand prevents them from going fully peat-free. But many customers have no idea that their weekly shop contributes towards the destruction of our peatlands. Ask your supermarket to save our peatlands loom.ly/d2yfpWs

We need your help to ask your supermarket to help save peatlands, and remove peat from their supply chains 🌱 - peatfreepartnership.org.uk

Flat-lay photograph of assorted fresh vegetables and fruit, including carrots, celery, cauliflower, mushrooms, tomatoes, blueberries and leafy greens, scattered on a light background with traces of soil visible. A lime-green text box states that organic labels do not guarantee food is peat-free and encourages people to ask supermarkets to remove peat from food supply chains to help protect peatlands. A brown banner at the bottom reads: “Send an email via the link in our bio.” The graphic is a call to action advocating for peat-free food production.

Peat-free Partnership @peatfree.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Don’t assume your organic veg is peat-free too 😱 Organic doesn't always mean environmentally friendly. While organic growers avoid synthetic chemicals, peat can still be used because it's a natural material, despite the harm caused by its extraction.

Close-up background of fresh vegetables including carrots, celery, mushrooms, lettuce, cauliflower and a tomato, with traces of soil visible. Overlaid text reads: “Did you know organic doesn’t mean peat-free?” and “We need clearer food labelling so we know how our food is grown.” The graphic highlights that organic food may not always be grown without peat and calls for greater transparency in food production.

It’s been 4 years since the UK Government promised to ban peat… and it’s still being sold! Without a ban in place our peatlands are still being destroyed and peat is ending up in places you might not expect - like our weekly shop! Ask your supermarket to go peat-free - loom.ly/d2yfpWs

Peatlands are some of our most incredible wetland habitats. There are countless reasons why peatlands are incredible. But they’re being destroyed to grow the food in your home! Act now to save peatlands! Ask your supermarket what they’re doing to get peat off our plates- peatfreepartnership.org.uk

This #InternationalBogDay we’re showing the love for our peatland bogs! They support some of the UK's most unique plants, lock away vast amounts of carbon, help reduce flood risk by absorbing rainfall and even act as a natural filter for our water. Want to learn more? 👉https://loom.ly/HrANLSg

From Blanket Bogs to Fens, the UK is home to a surprising variety of peatland habitats. While they may look different, all peatlands play a vital role in storing carbon, supporting wildlife and helping us respond to a changing climate. Discover more about the different peatlands below 👇

Beneath our feet, peatlands are doing extraordinary things. 🌍 Bogs, fens & marshes lock away carbon and support unique wildlife like these species here. But peat extraction destroys this balance, and the wildlife too.

A landmark moment for the peat-free mission 🌿 For the first time in its history, the Chelsea Flower Show is fully peat-free! This is a huge step forward in protecting our precious peatlands, which store carbon, support wildlife, and help tackle climate change. #PeatFree #RHSChelsea

These MPs have something in common... These maps show the coverage of #peat soils in and around the constituencies of several English MPs. Although Emma Reynolds and Mary Creagh's constituencies aren't home to peat, #DEFRA has responsibility for legislation to #EndPeatSales #Gardening #Allotment

A map with Glastonbury and Somerton constituency outlined alongside a photo of MP Sarah Dyke. Peaty soil is indicated to the North West of the constituency near Wells. Text reads "Sarah Dyke: Introduced a Private Member’s Bill to end the sale of horticultural peat in November 2024."

A map with Coventry East constituency outlined alongside a photo of MP Mary Creagh. There is no peat. Text reads "Mary Creagh: As Under-Secretary of State for Nature, overseeing peat policy is her responsibility."

A map with Ribble Valley constituency outlined alongside a photo of MP Maya Ellis. Peaty soil is indicated in the North of the constituency and surrounding it to the North, East, and South. Text reads: "Maya Ellis: Labour MP and part of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for horticulture. Contacted by constituents in our e-action."

A map with Wycombe constituency outlined alongside a photo of MP Emma Reynolds. There is no peat. Text reads "Emma Reynolds: Secretary of State for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs - oversees environment policy at Westminster."

On World Wetlands Day last year, we did not have a commitment to end peat sales from the current government.

Now, we’re on our way there. We have:
A commitment from government to end peat sales
A clear date for the peat-free transition in Northern Ireland
Support from Welsh and Scottish ministers writing to Westminster
Nearly 10,000 people signing our petition and many emailing their MP.

Thank you for your support so far.
Next year, we’ll be looking back on how we achieved legislation in 2026...
