It’s official! The Northumberland Peat Partnership (NPP) has now surveyed over 10,000 hectares (the equivalent of 12,355 football pitches) of peatland across Northumberland.

The NPP is a collaborative effort that aims to draw finance to survey, manage and restore degraded peatlands in Northumberland. It collaborates effectively with landowners and its partners to scope new sites for restoration and to produce shovel-ready plans.

Since the establishment of the partnership in 2022, the five-person team has been surveying tirelessly using GIS, remote sensing, aerial and drone imaging.
