Seen here are Connemara ponies, a rare breed native to Ireland. 🐎 Peatlands and horses share a long history, especially in Ireland, where these landscapes have supported traditional grazing and shaped the environment for centuries. 🌍 Maintaining the biodiversity of cutover peatlands requires grazing by livestock like these ponies. By protecting and restoring peatlands, we’re ensuring a sustainable future where communities, animals, and nature thrive together. Let’s saddle up for restoration and keep these connections alive! 💚 #Peatlands #Horses #SustainableLandscapes #GreenRestorationIreland #Biodiversity #EcosystemRestoration #ClimateAction #horses #irishhorses

Did you know peatlands are not just carbon heroes but also biodiversity havens? These unique landscapes support an array of berry-producing plants like bittersweet, cranberries, fraocháns (bilberries), and cowberries. 🌸 These little fruits are more than tasty treats—they're vital food sources for wildlife and a symbol of thriving ecosystems! By restoring and protecting peatlands, we’re not just preserving their carbon-storing superpowers—we're also nurturing the rich biodiversity that depends on them. 🌍 #Peatlands #Biodiversity #WildBerries #EcosystemRestoration #GreenRestorationIreland #SustainableFuture

A farm-proud Thomas Feighery in front of the biodiversity pond we created for him last year. This is notable for its exceptional water clarity and forms a valuable addition next to a copse of rare native Irish woodland and wet grassland. #greenrestorationireland #irishfarmers #farmcarboneip #ireland #peatlands #wetlands
