Stirlingshire - Flanders Moss
A peat bund blocks the drainage from the raised bog, helping to raise the water table and re-wet the bog following previous drainage when ditches were dug and peat removed to create agricultural land, Flanders Moss National Nature Reserve, Stirlingshire. A wet bog is a carbon sink - it sequesters carbon, whereas a dry bog becomes a carbon source. In the background is an observation tower which gives good views over the bog.
