Make a real difference – to the local landscapes that you love and the global climate crisis. We’ve teamed up with Moors for the Future for an exciting new project.

As the realities of climate change build, we’re changing too. Our mission is to reduce our impact on the environment and do what we can to take action against the climate crisis.

The Climate Project is a BMC campaign to support the work of Moors for the Future. Out on our wild moorlands grows an amazing plant called sphagnum. When sphagnum is growing healthily, this little plant powerhouse takes as much carbon out of the atmosphere as a tropical rainforest.

Sponsor one square metre of sphagnum for £25

Peat moorlands cover 15% of the UK, but many have been dug up, drained or destroyed. The Peak District moorland landscape is now the most degraded in Europe and damaged peat can be a great carbon emitter.

Moors for the Future was founded in 2003 to fight back. So far they’ve transformed over nearly 8,000 acres of peat moors across the Peak District and South Pennines. 

The Climate Project supports the work of Moors for the Future. This will make a real difference, as healthy moorland will:

• Actively fight the climate crisis
• Reduce wildfire risk
• Reduce flooding risk
• Protect endangered wildlife

It costs £25 to plant one square metre of sphagnum moss and create a healthy moor.
