• 2022 records have yet to be uploaded to DDb.
• Worked with the Ballinderry Rivers Trust (as a staff member at the time) on a peatland baseline mapping project at the beginning of 2022. Vegetative quadrats, and generalised species lists were completed at a range of lowland raised bog, and upland blanket bog sites across the river catchment. Some sites were previously unexplored. A range of educational pieces of peatland flora and habitats as a result: https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/d8ac912859cb4e90aee7d9d88affd128
