Very happy to see our latest Peatscapes article out in Environment and Planning E, led by Nye Merrill-Glover! Do give it a read if you're interested in peatland governance, carbon credit markets, or both! journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.... Thanks as ever to @leverhulme.ac.uk! 🙏

Next week the Peatscapes Team will join up with social scientists from 10 European countries for the two-day interdisciplinary 'Mapping Peatscapes' workshop at @lapworthmuseum.bsky.social, co-organised by @kargkama.bsky.social & @thomasfranssen.bsky.social! Agenda: peatscapes.com/mappingpeats...

Last week, members of the Peatscapes team staged a public forum on the future of peatland restoration in the Somerset village of Burtle. The event brought together representatives of environmental charities, rewilding groups, local residents, parish councillors, farmers and former peat extractors.

This week, we were excited to present our research to social scientists in #Estonia, led by Roosa Rytkönen at Tallinn University. It was a great opportunity to share knowledge amidst intense expert and public disputes on the large-scale #rewetting of Estonia's forested #peatlands. @leverhulme.ac.uk

Last week, our very own Roosa Rytkönen was guest speaker at the University of Freiburg's lecture series on ‘Healing, Repair and Ecological Restoration: Interdisciplinary Dialogues on Planetary Health’! Roosa spoke to contestations around forestry-drained peatland restoration in Estonia and Finland.

Proud to share our first project output in Estonian! 🇪🇪 Our Roosa Rytkönen presents this poster today at the "Habitat restoration and conservation" conference in Saaremaa, Estonia, organized by key national experts and the State Forest Management Centre, RMK. Excited for feedback! @leverhulme.ac.uk

Excited for today's sessions on 'Carbon Creations & Creative Carbons' at the @rgsibg.bsky.social, Birmingham! Our very own Roosa Rytkönen will present on: "Seeing the Mire from the Trees: The Calculative Politics of Forestry-Drained Peatlands in Finland" 🌲🌳 4.50pm, Alan Walters Building, Room 111

Peatscapes will be at #INTECOL2025 this coming week in Tartu, Estonia 🇪🇪! Our Roosa Rytkönen opens the socio-economic panels with KEYNOTE "Seeing the bog from the trees: Social science agenda for the study of forestry drained #peatlands".
