Reed inspection day 🌾✔️
We welcomed Richard Starling, Vice Chair – Broads Reed & Sedge Cutters Association, Norfolk, to assess reed grown on rewetted peat as part of Peatlands for Prosperity.

A fantastic series of short campaign videos highlighting the importance of wetland and peatland restoration, polices and processes needed to do so. Lovely to see Wildlife Trust colleagues featured @eurolandorg.bsky.social

Great to host ag students from University of Galway to see paludiculture in action.

Through innovative paludiculture trials, we’re exploring climate-smart crops that thrive on peat soils with raised water tables — keeping carbon stored while creating new farmer income opportunities.

We suggested #Paludiculture here in the ##HumberheadLevels but the #solar #farm developers wouldn't listen or even consider. Shame, particularly as it's in Ed Miliband's back yard! Best of both worlds, nah .... why bother .... #Doncaster #Yorkshire

It was great to attend Just Transition Fest and meet so many organisations and individuals doing important work across the region. 🌿

Take home message for #paludiculture and bog #restoration: Get rid of the agricultural topsoil, conserve intact peat layers.

Cowberry or lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea), seen here fruiting at one of the project’s Paludiculture farms, is a small creeping plant of the heath family (Ericaceae), related to the blueberry and cranberry, is a promising Paludiculture crop.

Jonathon is proud of his potatoes; and rightly so, they are delicious but it is not an economical farm business opportunity. He gets around £100 profit from the supermarket chain for each crate of spuds. This is turned into around £5k profit by the chip chop.
Harper Adams University students investigating what is the problem with peat? These soils when exposed or tilled, dry and degraded emit a significant proportion of #GHG’s from #agriculture. Continued production from these soils is not possible due to the UK Government’s commitment to #carbon #NetZero 🙅 by 2030.
Travelling on peat is interesting! It is either bumpy or, when wet, not possible…continued land-use requires continuous water resource management.
What are the business options for Jonathon’s farm? Continued production on rehydrated #peat - #paludiculture or #naturalcapital - or #renewable energy.
Our @harperadamsuni.bsky.social #Zoology students are working with Fenland Soil to kickstart the transgenerational conversation around #paludiculture
Jonathon, the last of 500 #potato farmers in the #Fens explained to them how conventional farming on >90% SOC soils was not sustainable.

Soils hold a hidden seed bank that helps ecosystems bounce back from stress. When drained peatlands are rewetted + restored through paludiculture, dormant wetland plants can return. On our project sites, Marsh Pennywort + Ragged Robin are reappearing! #seedbanks #environment #paludiculture
The figure shows an advertisement for the EGU 2026, which is taking place from 3rd to 8th May 2026. Abstract submission is open until Thursday, 15th January 1 pm CET. Deadline for support application is open until Monday, 1st December 1 pm CET. Below this information, four fotos of peatlands are displayed. On the top left, rannoch-rush is shown to grow among red peat mosses. On the top rigth, there is a blocked ditch in a grassland. On the bottom left, a paludiculture site with reed and cattail is shown. On the bottom right, there is a picture of a restored peatland with cotton gras and pools of open water.
#EGU has become a great event for peatlanders. If you work on #paludiculture, restoration or managed peatlands, our session at #EGU26 might be the one for you:

💡 Our “Database of Potential Paludiculture Plants (DPPP)” lists conventional plants that thrive in wet conditions in the Holarctic - typical bog plants as well as species that are already being used successfully in paludiculture.

It was lovely to summarize my PhD at the Geomicrobiology Society's Research in Progress meeting and to be honoured with the best talk award!
Visiting the Wellcome Trust's Zelfo wetland crop fiberboards was also a must on the way home

☘️As a part of #RRR2025 an excursion, led by @succow-stiftung.de with policy makers to #paludiculture sites took place!
🙋♀️ 🙋♂️ @juttapaulus.bsky.social, Garreth Kratz and Jörn Mothes joint the event!
‼️ The transition to paludiculture is a long-term undertaking and requires innovation and exnovation!
A glimpse of the future? At @peatfree.bsky.social we often talk of #paludiculture as a way to keep #peat in the ground while providing income for farmers on peaty soils. Now they've grown rice on rewetted peat in Cambridgeshire www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... #endpeatsales 🌱 #gardening #climatechange
It was great to be part of this international #paludiculture community for the last few days presenting our work from the Patchy Peat Solutions Project.
💧🌱#RRR2025 finished today -
Thanks to all the participants and speakers making it ...
not just a conference ...
but an event to remember !🌿
