#347: July 28th: International/World Bog Day

One resource that is being collated is a calendar of global / international 'days' which are relevant to natural history. 

Today is World Bog Day.

This follows the recent designation of the Flow Country as a World Heritage site as mentioned in the previous blog post.

Bog Day is celebrated around the world every year on the fourth Sunday in July.

This annual event, in celebration of bogs, fens, swamps & marshes is an opportunity to raise awareness of peatlands – the benefits they provide, the threats they face and the ways we can all help protect them.

This site is linked to the work of the Global Peatlands Initiative.

A day to read Annie Proulx's book, which is coming up in a future 'Reading List' post.
