Peatlands, Boglands and Wetlands
Wetlands are areas of land flooded with water, such as raised bogs and fens.
Bogs are wet lands made up of dead plant material. This material is commonly called peat. Areas where peat accumulates are called peatlands or bogs.
The bogs of Ireland are very important refuges for a lot of wildlife.
