Peat Café lunchtime lecture series: The Historic Environment and Peatland Restoration in the South West

The Peat Café builds on the network developed through both the University of Glasgow’s Bright Edge Deep and Discipline Hopping Wetlands initiative and Peat: Past Present and Future network based at the University of Manchester and the north-west more widely. The third and current season of the Peat Café is run by Professors Nicki Whitehouse at the University of Glasgow and Melanie Giles at the University of Manchester.

In April's Peat Café, Martin Gillard from South West Peatland Partnership presents 'The Historic Environment and Peatland Restoration in the South West'  from 1 - 2pm GMT.
