"The long-term ability of peatlands to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere means that they play a major role in moderating global climate. ... Despite the importance of peatlands they are barely mentioned in standard texts on global warming or emissions scenarios."

The Burns Bog Conservation Society addresses this education deficit by giving field trips, summer day camps and creating peatland-related education materials. The Society built and maintains the boardwalk in the Delta Nature Reserve as part of an outdoor classroom and to allow easy access for all to enjoy.
