SLU - Science and Education for Sustainable Life

Investigates the influence of lowland agricultural peat on water quality, the effect peat properties have on water tables, and effective approaches to raising water tables.

Mike Peacock from the University of Liverpool spoke at ECT's two-monthly webinar held on 26 June 2026 about the Migneint Bog long-term peat rewetting experiment in Snowdonia, North Wales. This experiment has been running since 2011.

We use ecological evidence for action by harnessing this data for evidence-based policymaking, sustainable land use and education. What we do: - Provide financial, advocacy and management support to scientists and landowners for long-term experiments - Support scientists and landowners for the development of new experiments - Share the knowledge and outcomes gained through research with Government, other end users and wider society.
