Irish Peatland Conservation Council
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Irish Peatland Conservation Council (IPCC) is a national organisation established in 1982 to conserve and protect a representative sample of Irish bogs. Its headquarters are located at the Bog of Allen Nature Centre, Lullymore, Rathangan, Co. Kildare. The Bog of Allen Nature Centre was acquired by IPCC in 2003 and since then work has been ongoing to develop an internationally recognised centre for peatland conservation, education and research. IPCC's conservation aims and objectives are set out in a series of Action Plans the most recent being Bogs and Fens of Ireland Conservation Plan 2005. An account of the first fifteen years of the Save the Bogs Campaign is contained in Save the Bogs Story. These and other publications can be ordered through IPCC's website [1]. IPCC's also produces a twice-yearly campaign newsletter Peatland News which goes out to Friends of the Bog. The Friend of the Bog scheme is one means by which members of the public and become involved in and help the Save the Bogs Campaign. Other fundraising methods include special appeals, sale of symbolic share certificates in Irish bogs, a Save the Bogs card and gift catalogue, raffles, open days and sales of work, visits to the Bog of Allen Nature Centre. IPCC is a registered charity and as it is not state-funded it relies on public support to ensure its independence and influence.
