BeadaMoss visit Richmond Park for Sphagnum Moss reintroduction project

We had a fantastic start to the week thanks to The Royal Parks, who invited us on a site visit to Richmond Park in preparation for a project to reintroduce Sphagnum moss to the area.

A big thank you to Bobby, Peter and Holly from The Royal Parks for giving us a tour around the boggier spots of this impressive park.

And another big thank you to Richard Lindsay and Jack Clough from University of East London for joining us, providing us with their Sphagnum identification expertise and for showing us how amazing Sphagnum looks under a microscope.

Such a valuable, knowledge-sharing experience. We can’t wait to collaborate further on such an exciting project!

World Wetlands Day 2026

We’re celebrating World Wetlands Day today by shining the spotlight on our favourite type of wetland – peatlands. They provide crucial ecoservices such as promoting biodiversity, carbon storing and sequestration, flood and wildfire control, and water filtration to name a few.

Sphagnum moss, the dominant peat former, can store huge quantities of water in its cells, and can hold up to 20x its own weight in water. Re-wetting damaged peatlands and reintroducing Sphagnum is key to preventing further CO2 emissions being lost from exposed peat and to help restore peatlands to carbon-sequestering sinks.

BeadaMoss visit Hatfield Moor – January 2026

On Monday, we swapped our desks for the bog and visited our partners, Yorkshire Wildlife Trust and the Natural England Humberhead Peatlands National Nature Reserve team, on Hatfield Moor. A big thank you to Joe Carter for giving us a fun and educational tour and to Julian Small, Natural England, for providing an insight into different approaches required for lowland bogs in comparison to blanket bogs. It helped to put what we do into perspective.

We wanted to highlight this recently published video from LIFE Moor Site, showcasing the peatland restoration in action across the Humberhead Peatlands, carried out by Natural England staff and dedicated volunteers:

Sphagnum research project receives Jeff Bezos investment

The founder of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, is backing a University of Manchester research project through the Bezos Earth Fund Greenhouse Gas Removal Ideation Prize. This will help the team to research the best way to restore Sphagnum moss in peatlands across the UK and within wider northern Europe.

We’re proud to be working with our partners at the University of Manchester, helping to supply different species of Sphagnum for their research.

The importance of this research project cannot be understated. Sphagnum moss is vital to the environment. It sequesters carbon, supports biodiversity and is a highly absorbent plant that can reduce the risk of flooding and drought. In short, Sphagnum moss is an eco-hero.
