About the event

This webinar looks at more key challenges to peat restoration from different perspectives, and the experiences gained that would help overcome these in the future to restore degraded peatlands into vibrant carbon-storing landscapes.

Frank Street, Site Manager for High Fen Wildland describes the work of leading nature restoration company Nattergal to re-saturate High Fen’s degraded peat preventing the emission of more than 100,000 tonnes of CO2e over the next 50 years.

An overview of lowland peat restoration on sites in the Humberhead Levels will be given by Project Officer Megan Hall.

The discussion on what next for lowland peat restoration will be led by Tammy Smalley, Head of Conservation at Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust who are the lead partner in the Fens East Peat Partnership. There will be the opportunity for attendees to put questions to the presenters.

This webinar is one of a series on lowland peat restoration topics organised by Fens East Peat Partnership (FEPP) and Natural England. Case studies and presentations include information gained through the FEPP NCPGS Discovery Project and current NCPGS Restoration Project where 14 sites are undertaking peat restoration in the lowland Fens of Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, Suffolk and Norfolk.
