A moss of many layers

The ‘Moss of Many Layers’ was an art-science-community and research project focussed on an extraordinary expanse of lowland bog at Bolton Fell Moss, north of Hadrian’s Wall in Cumbria. Working with people in the local area, the project used art and the sharing of science to make closer connections between people and Bolton Fell Moss. The project was funded by NERC (National Environment Research Council) and run by the PLACE Collective in partnership with Natural England, the University of Cumbria and peat restoration specialists Barker and Bland Limited. It took place in collaboration with the local community between January and September 2022.
