Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Peatlands Restoration and Rehabilitation: Discussion

Dr. Florence Renou-Wilson:

Every site is different. Again, if one is still cutting turf then that will not help, only if it is protected. In a site that is not protected, a typical blanket bog could still have ongoing turf cutting in areas without damaging the main part of the blanket bog, but it must be clear where and to know where to stop and not go on further into the blanket bog. It should be wet then, because one cannot have re-wetting and cutting.
