Led by the National Parks and Wildlife Service, the Peatlands Community Engagement Scheme, encourages local initiatives for the conservation and revitalisation of raised and blanket bogs – particularly protected bogs and fens – and promotes public engagement with and awareness of our natural heritage and environment. The focus of the scheme is on community-led projects and volunteer groups, who play a vital role in helping to promote and implement peatland conservation and restoration in Ireland.
Under the Peatlands Community Engagement Scheme 2023, funding of more than €290,000 is available for 24 local community groups and organisations to support a variety of local projects across Ireland.
