Peatland Action is a peatland restoration project run by Scottish Natural Heritage and funded mainly by Scottish Government. The funding primarily supports on-the-ground restoration activities.
Key Criteria
- There are no geographical restrictions or target areas for Peatland ACTION funding.
- The majority of the peatland within a project area must have a peat depth of over 50cm, but peat depths down to 30cm will be considered for restoration if they form an intrinsic component of the peat hydrological unit.
- Fens containing peat will be considered.
- Annual management payments will not be funded.
Applications are now closed for the funding to be awarded April 2026. The fund is open for applications for 2027.
