Why are most of the bogs exploited raised bogs in the midlands?

Most of the exploited bogs in the midlands are raised bogs due to their unique geological and hydrological characteristics, which make them rich in peat formation. These areas typically have a higher water table and accumulate organic material over thousands of years, making them ideal for peat extraction. Additionally, the demand for peat for horticulture and fuel has driven exploitation in these regions, where raised bogs are more accessible and economically viable. Their relatively flat terrain also facilitates extraction processes.
