CANN project website launched

We're proud to be one of eleven partners in the Collaborative Action for the Natura Network project (CANN) consortium working to save peatlands and wetlands across Ireland, Northern Ireland, and Scotland.

The website has information on the importance of peatlands and wetlands, priority species, and the threats that these both face. You can explore individual sites, including our two Islay sites Duich Moss and the Rinns.

Check out the new CANN website here!

Be sure to subscribe to the CANN newsletter to stay up to date with news on the project.
