Guided walk: Eyes on the Bog
Find out how to keep the moorland healthy, and how we monitor it, as part of our World Bog Day celebrations.
- Booking not needed
- Free event
Eyes on the Bog is a long-term, community-driven peatland monitoring initiative designed to track peatland health and restoration across the UK.
On this family-friendly walk, you'll find out how the National Trust are rewetting Marsden Moor, and how we keep an eye on two key areas of the moor using animal sculptures.
The walk is 6 miles and will take 4.5 hours, including a talk on peatland conservation from Countryside Manager Rosie Holdsworth and a stop for lunch.
