Your purchase directly helps protect one of the world’s most powerful natural carbon stores — Irish peat bogs. Every plot sold funds:

⦁ The preservation of bogland from turf cutting and development
⦁ Habitat protection for native plants, birds, and pollinators
⦁ Donations to grassroots conservation groups like the Peatlands Council
⦁ Ongoing land stewardship and public awareness efforts

You’re not just holding a piece of land — you’re helping to restore one of Ireland’s most endangered ecosystems.

It’s a fair question — and the answer is, it’s not just about your individual plot. By protecting your piece of bogland, you're helping safeguard a fragile ecosystem. But the real impact comes from what your purchase helps us do at scale. Every order supports:

⦁ Donations to larger restoration projects through organisations like the Peatlands Council
⦁ Our ongoing public awareness campaigns, bringing peatland conservation into the spotlight
⦁ The creation of a growing community of land stewards who collectively preserve more than any one plot ever could

One plot may be small — but as part of a bigger movement, it helps tip the balance toward real, lasting change.

Peat bogs are among the most powerful natural carbon sinks on Earth — storing more carbon per hectare than rainforests. They also support rare wildlife, regulate water systems, and preserve layers of ancient history in their soil. Ireland’s bogs have suffered decades of damage. By protecting even a small plot, you’re playing a part in Ireland’s ecological recovery and climate resilience.

You’re securing a 25-year renewable leasehold interest in a uniquely numbered plot of Irish bogland. Your lease is formally recorded and can be renewed indefinitely, giving you a long-term, personal connection to that land. It’s a meaningful and lasting way to help protect Ireland’s wild landscapes — and to hold a place within them.

Yes — your name is officially recorded as leaseholder of a uniquely numbered plot, and that lease can be renewed into the future. The land is held in trust for conservation, meaning it will never be developed or sold. Your connection to that plot is secure, lasting, and fully documented.

Yes — Plot owners are welcome to view the bogland from a dedicated viewing area nearby. To protect the habitat and support our long-term restoration and preservation efforts, access to the bog itself is restricted. These lands are ecologically sensitive, and keeping footfall to a minimum is essential to ensuring they remain undisturbed. Your support helps us protect them exactly as nature intended.

No. All plots are part of a managed conservation area. No structures, plantings, or personal items are allowed. The goal is to keep the land wild and untouched, safeguarding it for wildlife, carbon storage, and future generations.
