IPCC Bogland Reserve Network

IPCC's mission is to see a representative sample of peatlands conserved in Ireland for future generations to enjoy and benefit from, to maintain their biodiversity and to protect the living ecosystem that bogs and fens represent.

To achieve this goal we have been campaigning since 1982 to ensure that government, national agencies, local authorities, community groups, land owners and all interested parties are made aware of the value of our peatlands, and are encouraged to take measures to protect them.

We have encouraged the peat industry to take a responsible approach to peatland conservation, we have worked with Government and the European Union to provide funds to purchase sites, we have encouraged community groups throughout Ireland to protect bogs in their locality and finally, we have purchased bogs for conservation, and raised funds to manage them with the support of IPCC's Friends of the Bogs supporters scheme.

If you would like to help the appeal to buy an acre of Irish Bog for conservation, please click here to obtain a donation form.

To learn more about one of IPCC reserves, select one of the bogs below and learn more about where they are, how to visit, the wildlife and habitats that occur on them and the management work we have undertaken.

In addition to owning and managing peatland sites for conservation the IPCC run the Bog of Allen Nature Centre, a focus for conservation, education and research into peatlands in Ireland and worldwide.
