The peat base we have underneath our moorland is perhaps our most important asset. Peat creates a fantastically rich environment for many plant and animal species, but is a fragile component of our landscape once vegetation is lost.
Not to boast, but we have one of the UK’s rarest trees hidden in the cracks of our scree cliff face. Sorbus Anglic – a type of Whitebeam – is found here, part of fewer than 250 specimens in existence.
