"The peatlands form roughly about a millimetre per year. So it's growing all the time, it's laying down that peat as the sphagnum is kind of decaying.

"In that peat formation, you're drawing down and you're storing carbon, you're storing CO2, which is the main thing in terms of climate resilience."

The moss also creates habitats for rare species, such as the curlew, and is a vital tool in the fight against wildfires.

Afternoon, good people! Spotted more #BirdsNestFungi today while investigating a new anthill. It's a neat one.

Cheers, take care out there.
