The Fens East Peat Partnership (FEPP) with Natural England have arranged a series of monthly webinars on lowland peat restoration topics. The webinars will be combination of presentations and case studies, sharing information and experiences. These will include information gained through the FEPP NCPGS Discovery Project and the current NCPGS Restoration Project where 17 sites are undertaking peat restoration activity in the lowland Fens of Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk.
We also hope the sessions will encourage more discussion and questions to find ways to look after the remaining peat in the Fens that will enable food production and restoration to work together allowing the peat ecosystems to become sustainable and resilient to help us manage the impact of climate change.
Biodiversity Net Gain as a mechanism to fund nature recovery in the fens
This webinar will introduce Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) and give case study examples. It will cover how BNG offers landowners in the fens another way to fund nature recovery, alongside providing an alternative income stream to complement other business activities, and how to prepare sites for registration.
Speaker: Dr Nick White, Principal Advisor – Net Gain, Natural England
