Bord na Móna today confirmed that it has rehabilitated close to 12,000 hectares of the company’s boglands which amounts to over fifteen percent of its total landholding to date. As part of that work, the company has actively restored over 1,000 hectares of raised bog since 2009 and aims to increase this figure in the next six years. The company has begun its transition away from harvesting peat for energy production and has committed to a comprehensive and informed bog rehabilitation programme. The figures were announced at today’s launch of the company’s Biodiversity Action Plan 2016-2021.
