Soils and Peatland Management
Sustainable peatland management is increasingly important to the low carbon economy as development pressures on this resource grow. With peat holding approximately 50% of the UK's soil carbon stock, the importance of its management is being increasingly scrutinised.
Our multidisciplinary team is uniquely skilled to ensure we have the right mix of highly specialist in-house expertise in soil science, peatland and habitat management and hydrology. Together our specialist consultants bring a deep understanding of the often complex and interrelated environmental, technical and regulatory issues to determine the best solution for your project.
