Blanket bog is an ombrotrophic peatland habitat - that means it depends on rain, snow, hail and fog for all of its nutrients. You can find out about the amazing places and beautiful species we work in and around on our habitats and species page.

Habitats and species

We estimate there are approximately 94,220 hectares of peatland in North Yorkshire's uplands and that around 80% of that has been damaged in some way.
