Bog in a box at Broadoak Wood

The National Trust, in partnership with Lancashire Wildlife Trust, has recently carried out restoration work on Broadoak Wood, to breathe new life back into the peat soils beneath the woodland. Our restoration work will create an absolute haven for wildlife. Standing water, saturated ground and diverse plant communities will provide habitats for a variety of species and transform a wildlife poor woodland back into a thriving mix of habitats, a genuine oasis for people and nature. Join us in a celebration of the completion of this work, where you can get stuck in with aiding this watery habitat. Create your own “bog in a box” where you can plant up peat friendly plants to take home and grow before returning later in the year to help us plant your cared for plants back into Broadoak Wood, creating a “community bog”.
