About the event

Bog Day is celebrated around the world every year on the fourth Sunday in July. This year we'll be celebrating the brilliance of bogs on Sunday 26 July.  

This annual event, in celebration of bogs, fens, swamps and marshes, is an opportunity to raise awareness of all peatlands – the benefits they provide, the threats they face and the ways we can all help protect them. 

Explore our Bog Day pages to find resources, events and projects from partners around the world working to conserve, restore and enhance our brilliant bogs. You can also find out what peatlands are and why they are so special.  

If you are organising any Bog Day events or have resources you'd like to share to inspire others, send them to info@iucn.org.uk and we'll add them to our Bog Day pages.

If you take part in any Bog Day events, share them using the hashtag #InternationalBogDay!
