The Bog of Allen Nature Centre, in Lullymore, near Rathangan in Co. Kildare is an international centre for peatland education, conservation and research run by the Irish Peatland Conservation Council. This exhibition will get you thinking and talking about bogs. It celebrates the beauty of Irish boglands and their unique wildlife. It describes the value of bogs in storing greenhouse gases and carbon, storing water, helping to control flooding, providing a refuge for plants and animals and providing spectacular places for recreation. It looks at the ways man has used the boglands of Ireland and tries to find a balance between the need to conserve a representative sample of the bogs and to use the rest of them wisely for future economic and agricultural developments.
