Peatland Restoration is extremely challenging and complex work that happens in remote, exposed, upland landscapes. How and why we restore is not widely known about. The erosion of degraded peatlands and the restoration work goes largely unseen. Recognising the complexities connected to peat and peatlands, their remoteness, and how people connect to them, or are disconnected from them, Once Upon a Peatland presented a series of interconnected pieces (vignettes) capturing restoration actions and research to spark conversations about peatland encounters and peatland restoration. The full CCC team participated in the exhibition, sharing their knowledge and experience with visitors, who in turn shared their knowledge, experiences, and curiosity. Collectively new narratives were created and connections made.
