Bog Standard Film Screening

 

December 2nd marks the first online screening of Bog Standard. The short documentary film focuses on community-led bog restoration projects and the custodians who have extraordinary stories to tell. The film draws on the commitment and hope of grassroot projects happening around peatland conservation in Ireland.

Our objective is that these conversations will inspire and educate our future decision-makers and the wider community about the importance of preserving Ireland's rich bog heritage.

Bog Standard, born within the Climate Ambassador Programme 2021 responds to the need for awareness of peatlands in Ireland and their central role within the climate emergency.
