The Living Layer | Restoring peatland in the UK's South West

Peatlands are extraordinary landscapes, out of sight from many of our daily lives, but powerful and vital for life as we know it. Our new film reveals their beauty and the optimism in their restoration, whether that’s the dragonflies dancing on sparkling pools on Dartmoor, the scale of the works underway on Exmoor, or the micro-mosses thriving below our feet on Bodmin Moor. Take 12 minutes out of your day to meet just some of the team who are working year-round in partnership to tackle areas of degrading peat. Join us in celebrating these incredible ecosystems, the scale of the challenge ahead and the hope for the future that their restoration brings. SWPP is funded by Natural England’s Nature for Climate Peatland Grant Scheme, South West Water, The Duchy Of Cornwall, Environment Agency and National Trust. Thank you to all the partner organisations, contractors, farmers, interest groups, commoners, volunteers and researchers who enable our work to happen.
