Peatlands are more than just landscapes, they are ancient ecosystems, living archives of heritage, and vital allies in the fight against climate change. Join us at An Creagán in County Tyrone for the launch of a powerful photographic exhibition that traces the historical and contemporary landscape of peatlands in and around The Sperrins. Chad Alexander’s exploration delves into the cultural and environmental significance of bogs, examining the personal, economical and mythical relationships between people and the land. Through this body of work, he highlights the complexities between destructive effects of industrial practices, such as drainage, extraction, afforestation, and unregulated burning, that can harm these fragile ecosystems,  contributing to a warming climate. At the same time, the work highlights the potential for restoration at Haughey’s Bog under the stewardship of Ulster Wildlife and An Creagán community centre in Omagh, where it has been permanently installed.
