    This is more excavation on a vast scale than cutting.

      Bogs are present in many countries. They were once lakes created mainly by glacial melt water in Ireland anyway. The lakes were colonised by reeds and other plant matter. You can see still see the layers of reeds in the lowest peat layer. The white layer below the peat is called marl which is made up of the lake deposits. You can see types of shell marine life in this layer. After the reeds, then trees colonised the areas, mainly Scots pine and oaks. Most these trees died off and sphagnum Moses moved in. The decomposition of this organic matter is what forms to be peat. 1-2mm of peat forms a year from sphagnum Moses.
      Bogs are an incredible ecosystem and should not be destroyed like what is being done in this film, regardless for financial gain or “heritage”. Just because you grandfather did it doesn’t make it right. Bogs are a carbon sink. The drains in front of the cut bank drain high carbon content water into our waterways. This high carbon content water is being taken as a raw water source into treatment plants and reacting with chlorine to form THMs which are cancenagenic.
