Beyond Restoration conference 2023: poster presentations

People looking at posters People looking at posters The Poster Session evening welcomed 31 poster presentations to share knowledge, experience, new findings, tried and tested techniques and novel approaches to peatland research, policy and practice.

There was also an exhibit from the National Institute of Agricultural Botany showcasing paludiculture which offers a potential solution for maintaining the profitable use of lowland peatland whilst significantly reducing the greenhouse gas emissions associated with their current (dryland) agricultural use. The exhibit also provided information about the Paludiculture Exploration Fund.
