Great to host a visit from our friends at The Manchester Metropolitan University, to catch up with Chris Field, Fraser Baker & Bidhya Sharma. We are collaborating on the Horizon Palus Demos Project, in which we are scaling up Sphagnum Farming for use as a peat free alternative in horticulture. We’re looking forward to sharing results soon!
We had such a fun, informative few days on Yorkshire Peat Partnership‘s ‘Blanket Bog Indicator Species’ and ‘Introducing Sphagnum Moss’ training courses last month! We always love spending time on the bog, but it was particularly useful to have the opportunity to refresh our Sphagnum identification skills. It was also fascinating to observe the hyaline cells under a microscope.
Thank you so much for having us Yorkshire Peat Partnership, and a big thank you to Beth Thomas for delivering two fantastic courses. If you have the opportunity to, we would highly suggest booking onto both!
