    Tips

    January 17, 2024

    Cadishead & Little Woolden Moss is a once-exploited peat bog that’s starting to be reclaimed by nature, thanks to staff and volunteers at Lancashire Wildlife Trust. Peat extraction in the 19th century almost destroyed this peatland and many others in the region. But in recent years, awareness has grown about the importance of these habitats.

    The reserve is home to common lizards and dragonflies, as well as birds such as hobby, short-eared owl, skylark, and merlin. Sphagnum mosses thrive in the reserve, providing a colourful carpet and playing an important role in the formation of new peat.
