I'm mad about mangroves. Bang for buck, they provide our best investment in nature based solutions on climate change, nature and improving prosperity for coastal communities.

Healthy peatlands are vital carbon stores. 🌱

Yet only 1% of England’s lowland peat is in a near-natural state.

We’re taking action to improve the condition of farmed lowland #peat whilst maintaining #FoodSecurity through new funding schemes.
