Conference Report

CANAPE (Creating A New Approach to Peatland Ecosystems) aims to increase the sustainability of peatlands. The project has two main pillars, one looking at the physical restoration practices for peatland lakes and wetlands, and one developing practical demonstrations of paludiculture. The project also develops best practice for monitoring rewetting and lake restoration projects. Currently 8 Pilot sites are being delivered across Northern Europe.

Carbon Connects aims to reduce the high carbon footprint of peatland soils in Northwest Europe by introducing new bio-based business models developed for sustainable land management practices.
