Peat is hugely important to our natural world. As well as a great habitat for wildlife, it's valuable for combatting climate change and has a range of benefits including flood prevention and purifying water.
Whilst still under appreciated, peatlands are more effective at carbon storage and mitigation than tropical forests. Peat has relevance across many of our priorities (habitats, climate, freshwater, nature-friendly farming).
What we want to achieve
- Impact goal
Preserved and improved species health and habitats
- Long-term outcomes
- Peat is no longer a component of horticultural products.
- Degraded peatland sites are restored for nature and for people.
If you are interested in applying for funding on under this priority, please see our guidance for support.
