School Resources

As part of our Love Your Wellies Programme, the team engaged with schools and higher-education institutions in our project areas. Here are some useful resources to help your students learn about the raised bogs of Ireland.

The Story of Ireland’s Agricultural Peat Soils

Over the last 3 years, FarmPEAT shared the story of Ireland's agricultural peat soils on field trips with agricultural and environmental science students. Now that the project is ending, we created a Story Map as a resource for teachers and lecturers!
