The Peat Partnership Project
The Peat Partnership Project was established by Defra, the Welsh Assembly Government, the Environment Agency, the Forestry Commission, Natural England, the Countryside Commission for Wales and the Northern Ireland Environment Agency in late 2007.
The aim of the project is to co-ordinate work on the protection of peatlands and promote their importance to a range of policy areas:
- climate change
- biodiversity
- water quality
- flood risk.
Natural England is leading on the mapping of peatlands in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and assessing their condition. Our report will be published in 2009.
