Press release
Grant opens to fund new projects to scope and develop sites where peat can be restored ![]() Today (Wednesday 7 July), Natural England has launched the first round of Discovery Grants, as part of the Nature for Climate Peatland Grant Scheme, to help support the development of new projects which seek to restore peatland systems to a natural and healthy state across the country. Through the Scheme, the Government intends to invest over £50 million in peat restoration and has pledged to restore approximately 35,000ha of peatland in England by the end of this Parliament. Accompanying the main Restoration Grants, the Discovery Grants are available for organisations to scope and develop sites for peatland restoration. As England’s largest carbon store on land, peatlands play a vital role in trapping carbon, and also provide a wealth of wider benefits such as improved ecosystems and biodiversity, better water quality and natural flood management. However, only 13% of England’s peatlands are in a near natural state. These Discovery Grants provide applicants with the opportunity to receive financial support to develop ambitious restoration proposals, making a difference to England’s peatland habitats. There will be two rounds of bidding, with applications for the first round of Discovery Grants opening today and closing on Wednesday 1st September. Applications for the Discovery Grant funding may include:
Environment Minister, Rebecca Pow, said:
Natural England Chair, Tony Juniper, said:
The Nature for Climate Peatland Grant Scheme is a great step towards reversing the current decline in England’s peatlands. The recently announced England Peat Action Plan also sets out a host of further actions we will take to ensure our peatlands are functioning healthily for the needs of the planet. In order to access the scheme information and to make an application you will need to be registered on Defra’s e-Tendering system – Bravo Solutions.
