Steng Moss with the Abi of the National Park. Taking peat depths and pulling up Sitka trees to prevent invasion. Learning about bog management. Musa got the deepest peat at 7.1m.   Checking the Whin Sill species with Janet and Gill – the creators of the grass roof at the Sill Discovery Centre. We also trialled Janet’s new lichen distribution app.

We also enjoyed seeing lizards on the bog and toads on the Whin Sill. 

And some crazy proof that one of us can still turn a mean cartwheel in her wellies.
