'Bog Talk' earths us in the sphagnum squidge of bogs to draw out the magic of peatlands in Dartmoor and Bodmin Moor in south west England. We’ll be chatting about poetry, place, peatland restoration, tracing conversations and creations made over a year, from spring to spring. In this episode we investigate the hummocks and streams of a bog in one of the old tin workings on Dartmoor. 

Bog Talk is produced by Rose Ferraby, and this episode features Rose Ferraby and John Wedgwood Clarke. It’s a project for RENEW at the University of Exeter, in collaboration with Natural England and the South West Peatland Partnership. And is funded by Natural England through the Protected Sites Strategy.
