About

DEFRA awarded a contract to UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH) for research to understand the makeup and capacity of the peat restoration sector in England and how it needs to change over time, considering both the Peat Partnerships that deliver overall restoration projects and the contractor base that delivers physical restoration.

The research comprised five work packages: sector demographics and capacity; barriers to increasing capacity for existing organisations and businesses involved in peat restoration; barriers to new entrants; skills gap analysis and future pipeline of skilled workers; and scoping lowland peat restoration training requirements.

The contract value was AUD 166,995.6.
