Wet paludilandChristmas lyrics by John Couwenberg

Peatlands drained, used for croppingDitches deep, will need blocking

Rewetting the site, we’re happy tonightWalking in a wet paludiland

Let’s reduce gas emissionsNovel crops, new ambitions

Let’s make the land whole, and substitute coalWalking in a wet paludiland

Growing cattail for new insulationLight a fi re with new reed briquettes

P’ludiculture is the new sensationOff ering Solutions, meeting threats

Peatlands should be rewettedDrainage not be abetted

Some laws must be changed, some things rearrangedCalling for a wet paludiland

Growing cattail for new insulationAlternatives will help avoid regrets

The answer is in planned palud’fi cationWe should not sit and wait but get ahead

Hear us shout, you must listenOnce the water has risen

All will be good, have you understoodCalling for a wet paludiland
