Jane ClarkHOST
You can see the sphagnum moss everywhere and there's, there's some new planting here, Richard.

Chris CorlettGUEST
These are a mixture of rowan and alder trees, and alder does really well in boggy, wet soil, whereas rowan is a kind of mountain...

Chris CorlettGUEST
It's known as the mountain ash, and it'll do very well in quite severe conditions of wind and poor soils.

Chris CorlettGUEST
These trees have been planted here along the, the river bank because first of all, they're down in a dip and they're kind of sheltered from the wind, but secondly, there are some existing old trees along the river and they act as a seed source, and it's a kind of a natural place to start.

Chris CorlettGUEST
And these will gradually produce their own seed and spread out into the surrounding bog.

Chris CorlettGUEST
That's what, what is hoped in order to try and restore the, uh, old woodland that used to occur up here.

Chris CorlettGUEST
So along that green road that joins Lough Tay and Lough Dan, you get a series of little houses and then when you move up the slope, then you start to see more houses and smaller fields.
