Listen again: Watch Peatlands
Watch Peatlands – COP30, Climate change and peatland connections.
Our third Peat-Fest South-West broadcast featured speakers sharing their expertise on the impact of COP30 and the climate agenda on the ways peatlands will be managed in the future. We heard from speakers who work on the ground to care for the Avalon Marshes in Somerset and the Dorset Heathlands and Mires.
