Superhero Sphagnum Moss! External Trip

Event Description

Superhero Sphagnum Moss!

Join us on a unique opportunity to help restore the beautiful, local moor land on the special ‘Landscapes for Water Project’, which is being undertaken by the West Yorkshire portfolio of the National Trust.

Sphagnum moss is a superhero for moorland conservation as it can absorb huge amounts of water to provide a natural flood defence and boost climate resilience for people and wildlife.

The session will involve a range of general nursery and propagating work such as the separating of sphagnum moss to create new trays of future moss and wrapping the moss to create plugs that can be planted on the Marsden moors at a later date. This will be followed with a guided walk on the Marsden moorlands to learn a little of the history of the area and to spot some local wildlife.
