Beginnings is the first of seven bogcasts (podcasts) sharing our love of peatlands through the Peat-Fest South-West project.  Funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Recorded in summer 2025. 

From the launch of the festival to our first workshops this summer, this first bogcast, called ‘Beginnings’ gives an idea of the many different voices involved in this celebration of peatlands.  From the fantastic specialists and peatland restorers to our young and older participants, with their history and stories to tell, this bogcast asks ‘what is peat?’, encourages curiosity as to why peat is so special and how it reduces the impact of climate change. You will hear facts, fiction and folksong, alongside passion!
