Reflections on peatland, uplands and protected landscapes

On 27-28 March, a two-day LUNZ Hub forum was held at the University of Cumbria. The event, led by the Place Collective in collaboration with the Centre for National Parks and Protected Areas, focused on land use, landscapes, livelihoods and cultures in the UK’s uplands and protected landscapes. 

Several members of the Rapid Engagement with Stressed Peatland Environments and Communities in Transformation (RESPECT) project attended to learn more about opportunities and challenges around changes in land management. In this article, three members of the RESPECT project give their reflections on the event and the role of peatland in helping the UK land use sector reach net zero by 2050.
