This is a fantastic opportunity to spend a day outdoors, connect with fellow Climate Ambassadors, and take meaningful climate action while learning from those working on peatland conservation. Activities may include: 2 hours hike in Wicklow Mountains to the site (1 hour to go and one to return) Building small timber dams Erecting fencing around restoration areas Learning about peatland ecology and restoration techniques What to bring: Packed lunch and water bottle Weather-appropriate clothing Sturdy waterproof hiking boots Sunscreen and rain gear (this is Ireland, after all!)
