We believe…
At For Peat’s Sake, we aim to educate and engage the public on the environmental and cultural impacts of peat mining. We are dedicated to raising awareness about the critical importance of preserving our muskegs—wetland ecosystems that play a vital role in maintaining ecological balance, storing carbon, and combating climate change.
Muskegs are not only ecological treasures; they are sacred landscapes deeply rooted in the cultural and spiritual lives of Indigenous peoples across Canada. These lands provide traditional medicines, food sources, and habitat for species like the woodland caribou. They are places of ceremony, healing, and inter-generational knowledge transfer.
Through community outreach, educational programs, and advocacy efforts, we aim to inspire collective action to protect these invaluable natural and cultural resources. By working alongside Indigenous communities, scientists, educators, and policy makers, we strive to ensure that muskegs are respected, understood, and safeguarded for generations to come.
Our Team
Volunteers are the heart of For Peat’s Sake. Their dedication, creativity, and care make everything we do possible—from community outreach to hands-on restoration work. We’re deeply grateful for the time and energy they give to protecting peatlands and inspiring others to do the same.
