About the event
This hybrid conference follows on from the successful Meres and Mosses end of LIFE project conference, The Restoration of lowland peatland for biodiversity and carbon, which was hosted by Harper Adams University last year on behalf of Shropshire Wildlife Trust. It will explore cutting edge research and innovation in the area of peatland restoration and provide opportunities for networking and discussion. We are delighted to be able to offer a site visit to the award-winning restoration project at the Meres and Mosses, Whixall.
