Peatland Stories: Peatlands, our heritage and the role of creativity.
Our second Peat-Fest South-West broadcast had a range of voices reflecting our peatland heritage from across the country and within the South-West region, these voices told the stories of our heritage below the peatland surface and nature and peatland specialists who use art to support and strengthen their knowledge.
Our speakers:
