About the event

It is now understood that peatlands play an important role in mitigating the climate emergency. The talk covers the importance of peatlands, how they’re formed and why they have been degraded. You will find out how The Lancashire Wildlife Trust are restoring some of the damaged sites in our area. The talk ends with information about the return of some specialised flora and fauna to the restored sites.

Izabella has been a volunteer with the Lancashire Wildlife Trust since 2019, when she moved to Manchester to retire after a long teaching career which took her to many countries including Russia, Indonesia and USA. She is Speaker Co-ordinator at the Trust and regularly delivers talks for them.
