The talk will consist of my observations during the 10-day Irish Raised Bog Tour, Sept 3 to 13, illustrated with slides. I will cover the big marginal dike constructions for Clara and Raheenmore Bogs, wooded flushes on the bogs, forestry plantations on the bogs, the buried forests and archeological finds, and the cutaway peatlands with pastures, forest plantation experiments, and parklands for nature and recreation.
