Looking back now, it’s clear that September 2019 is a sort of BP and AP situation for a few of us: before peatlands and after peatlands.

Peatlands store vast carbon, support biodiversity, and protect water systems. Yet peat extraction destroys them. Learn why peatlands matter and why switching to peat-free soils is vital for climate and nature.

…this is what we know so far.

It's a funny thing as a person who thinks in what could be described as an obsessive amount about peatlands to attend an event called GLF Peatlands 2024: The Climate Solution We Forgot.

In September 2021, the Youth for Climate summit in Milan concluded, gearing up for COP26 that has just begun.The strong focus was on solutions and more youth involvement in the COP.

At RE-PEAT, we’re keen to find out more about how forestry policy interacts with peatland preservation in the UK.

“People exploit what they have merely concluded to be of value, but they defend what they love, and to defend what we love we need a particularising language, for we love what we particularly know.” - Wendell Berry

“Peatlands are fragile, important habitats that act as huge carbon sinks, absorbing greenhouse gases from our atmosphere. It makes no sense to damage one home to make another” – Alys Fowler

...and what an intense and open-minding experience it was!
