Another exciting fieldtrip to Tudusoo and Laukasoo bogs, restored by @LIFEprogramme Mires of Estonia in 2015-2021. Very interesting excursions and lectures by @ELFond to learn about the complex design, long-term monitoring, and public understanding of peat restoration projects!

[Peatscapes @peatscapes]

Delighted to announce the launch of our shiny new project website: https://t.co/U2K70HYy3o

A one-stop shop for everything 'Peatscapes' – including further info on our excellent team (@GeogBristol & @GeogBham), insights from fieldwork, and links to conference papers and outputs!

@jana_bacevic Thank you! The part about lack of imagination (and action) about alternatives really struck a chord with me.

[Peatscapes @peatscapes]

The intense week of #SERE2024 in Estonia ended with a practical crash course by @WetlandsInt about lagg/transition zone restoration in bogs. What a great way to learn about different methods & data through group work, and study the outcomes of restoration work in Tudusoo mires!

[Peatscapes @peatscapes]

Another fantastic #SERE2024 trip to peat restoration sites in Estonia. This time to Soosaare bog in Alam-Pedja reserve, to see initial outcomes in both extracted & forested areas, 6 years after rewetting. Thanks to Jüri-Ott Salm @ELFond & Elin Soomets @unitartu for a great tour!

[Kärg Kama @kargkama]

@Green_Geog @EndangeredLands @SER_Europe Have you met @roosarytkonen there yet? It would be great for you to connect!

[Peatscapes @peatscapes]

This week, @roosarytkonen is attending #SERE2024 with lots of exciting panels and fieldtrips to peatland restoration projects in Estonia. Including here Kuresoo and #Lavassaare - one of our @peatscapes case study sites. Many thanks to @SER_Europe for such an amazing programme!

[Kärg Kama @kargkama]

Such a great fieldtrip with @roosarytkonen! I've followed Ess-soo resistance for two decades, since working for @ELFond. It's fantastic to see the beginning of healing and recovery!

[Peatscapes @peatscapes]

Amazing trip to Ess-soo bog, Estonia. A unique case of local opposition to peat mining, eventually leading to research, nature protection & large-scale restoration. Now a @REWET_HE "open lab" for restoration monitoring. Thanks to the State Forest Management Centre for hosting us!

Delighted to be able to share some work in progress today at @STSeasst #EASST4S2024! @AMerrillGlover here delivering our paper "Reduce, Remove, Avoid: The Reordering of Peat Restoration for Climate Mitigation", as part of a great session on the Politics of Carbon Sinks

[Peatscapes @peatscapes]

Wonderful to contribute our paper "Counting on Peatlands: contingencies of carbon accounting in peatland restoration" at #POLLEN24! @roosarytkonen calls attention to the complex temporalities of peat restoration, speaking in a panel on carbon removal, net zero and climate delay!
