"What remains of Lindow Moss, the peat bog flora and fauna it has supported for thousands of years, is in its death throes. It is dying from desiccation".

This is the startling conclusion reached in the book "Lindow and the Bog Warriors" (Hyde and Pemberton, 2002).

The Moss, world-famous for the discovery of Lindow Man in 1984, requires urgent action and the cessation of peat extraction to give it a chance of preservation and restoration.

We hope you enjoy this website and feel moved to get involved in trying to save the Moss before it is too late.
