Peatland restoration initiative in England
The Great North Bog is a large restoration initiative covering over 90%[1] of the upland peatland in the North of England.[2] It is a £200m project and aims to restore nearly 7,000 square kilometres of upland over 20 years.[3] It is a partnership between the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Partnership, Yorkshire Peat Partnership and the Moors for the Future Partnership.[4] The area covers five national parks — the Peak District, Yorkshire Dales, North York Moors, Lake District and Northumberland.
