Landscape Recovery Scheme support
We can provide support for peatland elements of Defra’s Landscape Recovery Schemes (LRS) both in scoping and delivery.
We are leading our own LRS Round 2 Project (the 10,000 ha Ure Dales project, of which 7,000 ha are peat) and are contracted to work on three other projects. Work includes peatland surveying, monitoring and engagement planning. We can provide full support with the necessary reports along with quotes for 20+ years of planning and delivery.
