This plan sets out the government’s long-term vision for the management, protection and restoration of our peatlands, so that they provide a wide range of benefits to wildlife, people and the planet. The government commits to restoring 35,000 hectares of peatland by 2025, among other goals related to peatland recovery.

To implement this vision, the plan includes:
- the announcement of the Nature for Climate Peatland Grant Scheme through the Nature for Climate Fund
- a commitment to end the use of peat in the amateur horticulture sector
- a new spatial map of England’s peatlands

The action plan is part of a series of announcements on nature and climate and sits alongside the England Trees Action Plan. (GOV.UK)
