Bringing bogs back matters
Peatlands make up 12% of our land cover, but did you know that?
- They provide 53% of our soil carbon pool
- When in good health, they create vital habitat for threatened species like skylarks, curlew and marsh fritillary
- 68% of local people get their drinking water from peatland catchments

Why Ulster Wildlife?
Between 2023-24, we restored 40 hectares of peatland, locking away CO₂ and creating future habitat for local wildlife.
With 14,000 members supporting our mission to bring nature back at land and sea, we are the largest local conservation charity at home.
