Connemara Peatland Park

A proposal to restore 400 hectares of degraded blanket bog in the heart of Connemara. This project would combine large-scale peatland rewetting with sensitively designed visitor infrastructure that allows people to experience one of Ireland's most important carbon landscapes without disturbing its delicate ecology.

Our Approach

The restoration strategy would focus on blocking drainage channels to raise water tables, allowing sphagnum moss to recolonise degraded areas. Visitor infrastructure—including cantilevered observation decks and floating boardwalks—would be designed to have zero impact on the bog surface.
