Details
The lowland peat water implementation grant scheme aims to fund the delivery of previously developed plans to safely raise water tables within lowland peat soils in England. The scheme focuses on the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from lowland peat.
Implementation grants are available for projects in England working within areas of lowland peat that has been drained and have water tables which are lower than optimum for the reduction of carbon emissions.
Applications for the grant scheme will open from 26 June 2026.
