What do we hope to achieve?

There's nothing wrong with forestry in the right place. But conifer plantations and blanket bog simply don't mix.

We urgently need to remove the plantations from these wonderful peatlands. Cleared areas will quickly be colonised by sphagnum moss, cotton grass, and heather, and mean that birds and other wildlife which depend on the Flow Country will also be able to return.

Please help us restore Forsinain and Dyke and return this area of blanket bog to its full splendour. If we don't, the Flow Country will continue to suffer.

We have to act now, before this extraordinary landscape dries out

Why we need your help

When you set up a regular donation to our Flow Country appeal, you'll become a Flow Country Partner. For every pound you give, the Tubney Charitable Trust will give an additional 50p.

Your support will allow us to remove two million spruce trees, mean we can re-profile the miles of damaged furrows, ridges and tree-stumps, and ensure that the habitat is suitable once more for moisture-loving plants.

Please help us before it's too late. For each year the plantations remain, they continue to suck the water from the fragile peat, and shade out other plants and wildlife which characterise the Flow Country.
