Peatlands: Somerset
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps he is taking to help protect peatlands in Somerset.
Answered by Mary Creagh
In our manifesto we said that we will expand nature-rich habitats such as wetlands and peat bogs.
In Somerset we are restoring and improving our peatlands through a number of projects, including the Nature for Climate Peatland Grant Scheme, Landscape Recovery, and the Paludiculture Exploration Fund.
