Come and be part of a global voice for wild plants and fungi
We’ve already lost nearly all of our rainforests: now we must come together to protect and restore these biodiverse havens before they’re gone forever.
Will you help protect temperate rainforests?
Our corporate partners benefit from 35 years of experience in nature restoration so they can achieve real impact.

Join us to hear about the journey this historic landscape has been on – from exploitation to protection – and how this nature reserve fits into the bigger global picture of nature conservation.
For years, peatlands have been exploited, drained and not valued for their importance to wildlife.
These special habitats which store carbon, are home to important wildlife and can help us fight the climate crisis – are in danger of being destroyed. But in recent years there have been glimmers of hope.
Plantlife’s Munsary Peatlands, part of the vast Flow Country in Scotland, is a place of restoration and protection. The blanket bog here is one of the most extensive peatlands left in Europe and it stores around 1.9 million tonnes of carbon locked up in peat. And last year it made history by becoming the first peatland to be awarded UNESCO World Heritage Status, the same as the Great Barrier Reef.
