Our Work – Sustainable Micropropagated Sphagnum Moss
For peatland restoration, planting Sphagnum moss is usually vital to fully restore a peatbog. Sphagnum restoration helps to:
Convert a damaged peatland back to a carbon sequestering sink Stop current emissions from damaged sites Protects peatland’s huge existing carbon stores Important for habitats and biodiversity Helps prevent flooding and wildfires
Additionally, we are researching the use of our Sphagnum moss as a sustainable peat alternative using Sphagnum Farming methods.
We are also involved in a Carbon Farming project too, as Sphagnum has a huge amount of climate benefits.
In our nursery facility at BeadaMoss®, we are strive to grow our Sphagnum in the most sustainable way possible. We have Solar PV panels, use renewable heat from Ground Source Heat Pumps, and have heat recirculation systems. We use rainwater collection, and even the greenhouse itself is second-hand.
