Last week, SJOG’s Green Team were working with members of the North Pennines AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) carrying out peat bog restoration.
Peat bogs store a vast amount of carbon and their degradation is releasing huge quantities of carbon, accelerating global warming.
In one day’s work the Green Team prevented the release of the same amount of carbon as produced by 2 average cars in the UK over one whole year!
As part of their work, the team who are part of the government’s Kickstart Programme, also carry out a range of gardening projects in SJOG’s services in the north.
