Peatland Action (PA) is a peatland restoration project run by Scottish Natural Heritage and funded mainly by Scottish Government. The funding primarily supports on-the-ground restoration activities. This includes:
- Installation of peat dams in man-made ditches to increase water levels
- Allowing the peat-building mosses called sphagnums to re-establish
- More novel techniques such as peat hag re-vegetating by using the surrounding vegetation to stabilise the bare eroding peat
Who can apply?
Eligible land managers who have peatlands that would benefit from restoration. There are no geographical restrictions or target areas for Peatland ACTION funding.
