The 10-year plan to restore Haughey's Bog is described as the first of its kind in Northern Ireland.
A former commercially-harvested bog near Omagh, Country Tyrone, is set to be transformed via a project that Ulster Wildlife has described as the first of its kind in Northern Ireland.The project is being led by Ulster Wildlife and An Creagán Centre.
Peat-forming plants will grow again, wildlife will recover, flood risk will be reduced and the site will move towards storing carbon, Ulster Wildlife added. " over half of our land-based carbon stores, filtering masses of water and providing a vital haven for iconic wildlife."Mr Gray said that 80% of Northern Ireland's bogs are in poor condition, adding that the worst, including Haughey's Bog, are "dried out, devoid of life, and leaking tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere".
John Donaghey, manager of the An Creagán Centre, said the restoration of Haughey's Bog "has great potential to develop an ethos of valuing the fragmented remnants of raised bog and the local heritage".
