LIFE MULTI PEAT

The LIFE Multi Peat project aims to restore degraded peatlands by rewetting five project sites across Belgium, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Poland. The close monitoring of greenhouse gas emissions on the restoration sites will help to understand how peatland restoration can contribute to climate change mitigation. In addition, the project aims to test and disseminate alternative wet land use options, i.e. paludiculture, as a sustainable alternative to drainage-based agriculture on peatlands. Close networking and knowledge exchange with experts on peatland restoration and management will support the development of evidence-based peatland policy.
