For Peat's Sake! How Restoring Peatland Can Help Your Farm

Callander, Stirling

This is the second in a series of practical events looking at the benefits of peatland restoration for upland farms. Come and find out what funding is available and how restoring peatlands can reduce black loss, make the least accessible areas of the hill more productive, reduce flooding, retain water in dry weather and improve soil. Speakers are from ScotFWAG, IUCN UK Peatland Programme, and SNH Peatland Action. Free to farmers and land managers. Booking is required. Funding is provided through SRDP Knowledge Transfer and Innovation Fund (which is jointly funded by the Scottish Government and the European Union) with partner funding from Scottish Water and RSPB Scotland. (This event is part of a wider KTIF programme, Farming With Nature.)
