Welcome to the Irish Peatland Conservation Council (IPCC). Fáilte!
Our mission is to protect a representative sample of the peatlands of Ireland for people to enjoy today and in the future. We hope our web site will help you to get to know us better. It’s your gateway to the save the bogs campaign and to visitors to the Bog of Allen Nature Centre. The IPCC is a registered charity (Revenue Number CHY6829 and Charities Regulator Number 20013547) and a non-governmental organisation. With six nature reserves and the Bog of Allen Nature Centre, we are actively involved in restoring peatland habitats, protecting wildlife, and educating the public.
