The day will feature inputs from industry experts leading this area of research, a practical workshop and a tour of Harper Adams Paludiculture Innovation Project site which is in the process of being re-wetted.
The event is part of Harper Adams University (PEF funded) Paludiculture Innovation Project (PIP), of which more information can be found here: https://www.harper-adams.ac.uk/news/209047/harper-adams-university-to-become-first-uk-centre-for-the-study-of-peat-farming
