Are you a landowner or farmer? If so, @CarePeat is carrying out a short 10-minute survey on attitudes towards future uses of Irish peat soils. You can fill it out here: forms.office.com/e/e9f9avr3v…. It's a great way to help shape future policy decisions in this area.
Looking for Irish Landowners & #farmers to complete @CarePeat #survey on wet farming #paludiculture
#carbonfarming opportunities. Here:

The rich tradition of soil survey @teagasc by ground truth gave us historical data that allowed todays scientist @teagasc use modern data and tools to connect the dots in this OA paper on grassland peat soils 👇
Results from an important Teagasc study published in the Journal of Environmental Management, on Thursday, 22 June, for the first time offers reliable evidence on the drainage status of grassland peat soils. Find out more here bit.ly/3r0lh2T

I was lucky enough to be invited onto this webinar.
I can't recommend it highly enough for anyone interested in the science and the facts around rewetting in Ireland.
While much is unknown as yet, too much really, there is more data than I had realised, and it's all here
Earlier this wk we hosted a webinar where peatland expert @flo_renouwilson presented what we know/what we don’t know abt raising the water table (rewetting) on agricultural peat soils. Link here. youtu.be/tCbVJet26YQ Pls share widely.

Teagasc’s analysis put the area of drained peat grasslands between 90,000ha to 120,000ha, far lower than the 335,000ha previously assumed.

What was a lovely day!! . I am also very proud that you were my supervisors 😀😀
We are delighted (and very proud) of Drs @Ahmedyosif1990 and @Reflow_ESR10 who graduated this afternoon.

Well done to @L_Gilet for a very informative presentation on the mapping of peatlands in Ireland on the @RePEAT_IRE here @QuebecRE3 this morning.

It was fantastic to welcome academics and researchers to Gurteen College yesterday for the @teagasc Workshop on Grassland Peat Agriculture!
Making connections and strengthening our understanding of using peatland within the sector is something we know is super important.
