Stirlingshire - Fallin and Wester Moss
The Bog Squad hammering in the sections of a new dam, Wester Moss.
The dam is being constructed by Butterfly Conservation and Stirling Countryside Rangers to preserve the peat to enhance carbon sequestration and enhance the bog for butterflies and other invertebrates.
Most of the peat has been removed from raised bogs in Central Scotland, and habitat restoration is necessary to restore the remaining bogs to a favourable condition.
