Co-op collab

A three-year partnership with Co-op is enabling the restoration and long-term management of RSPB-owned upland peatland in Scotland and Wales.

An initial £1 million investment this year will support work at Cerniau at RSPB Lake Vyrnwy, where there are significant numbers of Hen Harrier and Merlin, and at Lumbister at RSPB Yell, home to wildlife species such as Snipe, Dunlin and Otter as well as rare plants such as Bog Orchid.

By restoring vital, carbon-capturing peatland, this restoration project could also help to avoid emissions equivalent to a huge 40,000 tonnes of CO2.
