Pennine PeatLIFE film by Land & Sky Media

December 14, 2021

 

At the September IUCN UK Peatland Programme/LIFE conference film night, the North Pennines AONB Partnership launched its new film, PeatLIFE People.

The Pennine PeatLIFE staff team worked with Land & Sky Media to create this documentary style film for the conference. Completing the filming in August this film was provided at no cost as part of the Land & Sky effort to support worthy environmental projects.

The film features team members, Paul Leadbitter, Kate Cartmell Done and Rosie Snowden, and gives an insight into what motivated this team of people to get involved in conservation.

The films shows some epic views of our peatland landscapes and the work of the Pennine PeatLIFE project and, we hope, a glimpse of hope for the future. You can see the film on the North Pennines AONB Partnership's YouTube channel.
