Join us tomorrow for our final special session at SERE2026 - Brest - 15th European Conference on Ecological Restoration! Policy-ready evidence and tools for Europe's wetland restoration 📍 25.08.2026 at 14:45

Peatland restoration isn't free. Daniel Urban and Klaus Glenk (SRUC) will be discussing the cost-effectiveness of rewetting at our final conference #SERE2026 in Brest on 25/08 at 14:45. 25/08, 14:45 💧

🌍 Europe’s wetlands are making a comeback  Heatwaves drain rivers and cause fires. Rewetting offers solutions: store water, restore biodiversity, lock away carbon.  Meet experts bringing water back to the land.  ▶️ Watch our final WET HORIZONS video: https://youtu.be/hvMnU3EdFaI?si=BXfAPLqbwVtw0-7W

Test your wetland decisions before making them. Alessandro Gimona (James Hutton Institute) will present an interactive decision tool at our Final Conference at #SERE2026 in Brest on 25/08 at 14:45🌾

Good research alone does not change policy. At our Final Conference at #SERE2026 in Brest, Rosie Everett (SRUC) will present policy recommendations and a joint White Paper. 25/08 🌿

Not knowing isn't good enough. Mateusz Grygoruk (SGGW) presents ServiPeat App, a tool for rewetting trade-offs, at our Final Conference at #SERE2026, Brest. 25/08, 14:45🌾

Restored peatland, and the carbon accounting gets complicated fast. Aram Kalhori (GFZ Potsdam) presents new emission factors at our Final Conference at #SERE2026, Brest. 25/08, 14:45, Sport Hall 3. 🌱

Fire can offer wetlands something? A recent WET HORIZONS publication found that rewetting severely fire-affected peat emitted 90% less methane compared with rewetting non-fire-affected soils. 🧪 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Severe Wildfire Legacies Suppress Methane Emissions After Peatland Rewetting

Drained peatlands are major sources of greenhouse gases, but rewetting them to restore carbon storage often triggers substantial methane emissions and…
