'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 talk to Natasha Ryan from the Poetry Society about our collaborative work with schools. We discuss the importance of encouraging young people to explore poetic approaches to peatlands and creating new resources and opportunities for schools. 

Bog Talk is produced and presented by Rose Ferraby, and this episode features Natasha Ryan from the Poetry Society. It is a project for RENEW at the University of Exeter, in collaboration with Natural England, the Poetry Society and the South West Peatland Partnership. And is funded by Natural England through the Protected Sites Strategy.
