NatureScot Peatland ACTION - Restoring Scotland’s Peatlands

[@katherandefy]

Love the small footprinted captions which has nothing to do with the beautiful accents but people who need it because they can’t hear. Have worn a device all my life to hear. Hi and all the love to my very own beloved Scotland. 💜

Amazing work, keep it up! I saw so much peat extraction in Scotland this last summer… most on a small scale but it is time to start restoring these areas and what an opportunity!

Sitka Spruce and sheep are the curse of the peatland, but many of these peatlands contain old roots of pine trees. This project needs to go ahead with reforesting, working with such organisations as Trees for Life. It shouldn’t be just another way of maintaining barren grouse moors.

Nice video - except for the burnt in captions. Your Scottish dialect is not that strong - I had no problems comprehending as a foreigner. Please, next time, allow the audience to decide whether we like to see captions or not.

Great video I’d be dismayed to hear you’d turn down the opportunity of developing Forrest. On one hand regenerative growth sounds great but obviously costly those Forrest seem like a good place to reintroduce some wolves or something more interesting idk

"Free funding" lol. Its tax funded. Nothing is ever free.

Trees yes trees need to carbon if there was more of an effort to plant in trees Atwood help with an it let's encourage more people to plant trees and trees it give fruit and nuts it would be great to encourage this as render would be less carbon and it would be better for it environment we would have cleaner are more oxygen remember this should be the thing pushed and remember how many trees was cut down in the last few years by the Scottish government and sold trees cut down to make way for wind farms and honestly this is just ridiculous the fear mongering getting pushed on people with climate crisis the people in power and the people with the big companies are the ones who are causing the damage to the environment more than anything else let nature take its course again get more trees planted stop trying to tax people and make up new laws rules and regulations to get more money from the people and take more land from the people if everyone in Scotland who had a back garden with plant a few little trees even little mini trees it would be a massive difference in a few years plant your seeds and use on used pieces of land and turn them into a little food forests

Good video and great work but net zero is just a ridiculous idea. And I thought we were planting trees, not destroying them to create a bog!

[@philiptaylor7902]

The peat bog will store far more carbon than the trees grown on it ever could.

Wrong trees....they don't belong there..
