Before such large scale mechanical extraction bogs were one of the last areas of wilderness.
Many vulnerable species depend on our bogs for their very survival. Butterflies such as the Marsh Fritillary, frogs, dragonflies , otters , insects and birds such as
Greenland Whitefronted Geese, Skylark, Golden Plover ,Curlew, Red Grouse and Snipe all rely on the vanishing peatlands.
