NI Science Festival 2026 – Bogland: Past, Present, Future

Category: Days Out

Date: 13th February 2026

Time: 11:00am

Location: Ulster American Folk Park, 2 Mellon Rd, Omagh BT78 5QU

Join us for an afternoon of bog exploration at the Ulster American Folk Park!

Discover the last remaining plot of raised bog at the museum, hidden behind our traditional farmhouses and famine-era thatches. Learn from our Curator about the bog’s vital role in Irish social history and daily life. Then hear from Ulster Wildlife and The Conservation Volunteers about our efforts to restore this bog into a carbon sink, helping combat climate change.

You’ll even get the chance to roll up your sleeves and take part in hands-on conservation work. Don’t forget your wellies to get stuck into some muddy and meaningful fun!
