In 2016, the Living Bog Project began restoring 750 hectares of Ireland’s raised bogs. 10 years later, over 6,300 peat dams have helped bring pioneer bog vegetation back

In 2016, The Living Bog Project began what was described as Ireland's largest raised bog restoration project, with plans to recreate more than 750 hectares of active raised bog and improve 2,649 hectares of bog habitat.

The project used peat dams to block drains that were taking water away from the bogs and reported the return of pioneer raised bog vegetation and species as restoration work progressed.
