Sphagnum moss is being reintroduced in Yorkshire's moors to enhance carbon capture and create diverse habitats. Projects at Kingsdale Head Farm and Marsden Moor focus on planting the extinct sphagnum austinii and restoring peatlands.

The Yorkshire Peat Partnership and National Trust are involved in these initiatives. The restoration aims to improve carbon storage, mitigate floods, and support wildlife. Healthy peat can store significant amounts of carbon, making these efforts crucial for climate resilience.
