World Peatlands Day, Scotland reports record peatland restoration

Scotland announced record peatland restoration figures and new job opportunities to mark World Peatlands Day. Government agencies and conservation partners said recent work has focused on rewetting drained sites, propagating sphagnum moss and blocking drainage to revive degraded peatlands. The push aims to lock carbon back into peat soils, improve water quality and boost habitat for bog-specialist species while supporting local nature-based employment.
