World Peatlands Day 2023

World Peatlands Day is celebrated on the 2nd of June each year.

• Launched by the International Peatland Society (IPS) in autumn 2019.
• Correlates with the date when the draft constitution of the IPS was adopted at an international symposium in Aberdeen in 1967.
• Allows access not only to temperate and tropical, but also boreal peatlands.
• Great chance for outdoor activities on pristine bogs and production areas which are possibly under a snow cover or not accessible in winter.
• Includes aspects of biodiversity, climate, horticulture and many other topics.
