Bog Academy - Peatland Education in Ireland

In this special episode of Echoes from the Bog, we journey into RE-PEAT’s beloved educational programme: the Bog Academy. Created for children aged 7–12, the Bog Academy invites young people to connect with peatlands through storytelling, science, creativity, and all five senses. From sphagnum experiments and ancient bog myths to poems about phoenixes and reflections from the students themselves — this episode offers a glimpse into how children are reshaping our relationship with these vital ecosystems. Featuring real field recordings, unforgettable moments, and a whole lot of bog magic!
