This autumn, the RSPB in Dorset has begun work to restore and protect two areas of precious peatland.

RSPB sites at Stoborough Heath and Salterns Copse, near Wareham, are being re-wetted, having dried out over the years, to recreate the perfect conditions for peat to once again flourish.

Dorset's peatlands offer homes for a range of wildlife and plant life, including rare species, such as the Southern Damselfly.
