Life Force is our fourth bogcast, join us as we explore voices that have fought for change and taken action against the climate crisis. We will learn how small actions taken to restore and advocate for peatlands have contributed for a greater force for hope and change. We will look at how we can all become part of this movement.

Wetlands is the second of seven bogcasts (podcasts) sharing our love of peatlands through the Peat-Fest South-West project.

Wet Land, our second bogcast reveals the wettest and flattest areas in the Southwest – the Somerset Levels. The Avalon Marshes team, as well as the marshes themselves tell us how the peatlands have been lived in over thousands of years and about ancient wooden walkways skimming the surface of the water between settlements. They explain how the impact of climate change is causing more frequent flooding in winter and drier summers and how it challenges the careful peatland restoration, modern day living and farming the land. The sound of Hot Poets and the Somerset wetland punctuates this bogcast giving ideas to think through and share with your friends.Recorded by Art and Energy and RE-PEAT with support from the Peat-Fest South-West partners and collaborators.
