Had an amazing two days rubbing shoulders with delegates at the IUCN's "Investing in Peatlands - Delivering Multiple Benefits" conference at Stirling University. More about the IUCN's Peatland Programme can be found here: http://www.iucn-uk-peatlandprogramme.org/.
I was especially pleased, along with Suzanne (Buglife), Alex & Paul (Butterfly Conservation Scotland) and Guy and Claire (Stirling Council rangers), to show some of the delegates around the bing and bog at Wester Moss SSSI (see previous post). Among the highlights of the day were speaking to Richard Lindsay of the University of East London, a bog expert, and Dr Rob Stoneman, Chief Executive of the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, who chaired the event. I hope made a good impression!
