Title: Petition to ban peat use in Scotland
Post by: Maggi Young on July 12, 2022, 05:40:02 PM

Dear Scottish Rock Garden Club

I wanted to let you know about this important petition to ban the use of peat in horticulture in Scotland. The petition calls upon the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to place a legal ban on the extraction of peat, peat imports, exports, and sales in order to protect peatlands both in Scotland and worldwide. Here's a link: https://petitions.parliament.scot/petitions/PE1945

Please sign & share with your members, friends, family, and contacts.  Please share on all social media channels, in your newsletters, websites, and updates and please share with all of your smaller groups and societies - thank you.

Best wishes

Beth
