Are there any under-utilised growing areas at your community gardens or allotments? Would you like to use that space to benefit the climate, reduce flooding and improve biodiversity?
The Calderdale Sphagnum Project has helped many organisations across the UK to successfully grow sphagnum moss to restore local peat landscapes and are looking for local groups who would also like to contribute to peatland restoration by growing sphagnum mosses.
Sphagnum moss creates peat by stopping the decomposition of dead plants and preventing the release of carbon into the atmosphere. Peat covers only 12% of the UK but holds more carbon that all of the forests of the UK, France and Germany combined. As a community we are going to need hundreds of thousands of sphagnum moss plants to restore our deep peat sites, the majority of which are in poor condition.
Contact [email protected] for more information or to book your place. If you would like to set up a sphagnum growing area but are unable to make the date of the workshop, please still get in touch so we can arrange a second date that works for you.
