High in the Cairngorms RSPB Scotland is working to restore peatland for nature and the climate

At RSPB Scotland's Abernethy nature reserve peatland is being restored seven hundred metres up in the Cairngorm mountains. Restoring peat helps nature and the climate. Join Peatland Project Manager Sally Phillips to find out about the work. And Sally comes across some remarkable evidence of the forest that once covered what is now a vast expanse of bog. This work was supported by the Cairngorms Peatland ACTION grant fund
