The Process of Peatland Restoration for Landowners Explained

Published July 19, 2024

If you are a landowner with peatland in need of repair, here at The Future Forest Company we offer everything you need. We provide a bespoke peatland restoration service, leading you clearly through all the stages of the journey, from design to completion. 


In-house expertise


Our experienced in-house team is dedicated to restoring peatlands, using restoration best practice and maximising revenue. We have delivered successful grant-funded and Peatland Code validated restoration projects on our own land holdings across Scotland and England.


Our Peatland Project Manager Matthew Cook has many years of experience in completing successful restoration projects. He heads up our team who provide a trustworthy, flexible and transparent approach to suit your land, business and financial needs. In this emerging technical field, we have formed close working relationships with key organisations including Yorkshire Peat Partnership, the Peatland Code, Peatland ACTION and a range of specialised contractors across the country.


Our bespoke service


We cover all aspects of the process in our bespoke service, from surveying out on site, detailed Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping, consideration of appropriate restoration techniques, contractor tendering processes, health and safety paperwork, funding applications, data management, and liaison with the landowner throughout the journey.


Generating income through restoring the land


Restoring peatland can be a source of income for landowners. Grants are available for peatland restoration work and by registering your project with the Peatland Code, the emissions reductions made will be verified. This generates carbon credits, which can provide a potentially significant income. 


Our commercial team will lead you through the process of successfully marketing your project, partnering you with businesses that will buy your carbon units at the highest possible price. Our experienced team make the whole process transparent, smooth and trouble free.
