Northern Ireland Environment Minister, Edwin Poots, has launched a public consultation on a new 20-year plan to restore the region’s peatland.
The minister launched the draft Northern Ireland Peatland Strategy 2021-2040, during a visit to Cuilcagh Mountain Special Area of Conservation in Co. Fermanagh, during which he met with local landowners and Ulster Wildlife.
The groups are working with partners through the Collaborative Action for the Natural Network (CANN) project to restore precious peatland habitat on this iconic mountain.
Due to the popularity of the Cuilcagh Mountain boardwalk, erosion was caused to the very fragile upland habitat. The CANN project, funded under the INTERREG VA programme, has delivered habitat restoration and improved the path which leads to the summit cairn.
