🌍🌱 UHI North, West and Hebrides, in partnership with NatureScot Peatland ACTION, launches the ‘For Peat’s Sake’ project to offer peatland restoration training for businesses! The five-day course will combine classroom-based learning with practical field trips equipping businesses with an introduction in peatland ecology, wildlife habitats, restoration techniques and hill working safety. This initiative supports Scotland’s goal to restore 250,000 hectares of peatland by 2030 and addresses critical skill gaps in the sector. Fully funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Levelling Up Fund, the training is free for Highland-based businesses. 💬 Lydia Rohmer, Principal of UHI North, West and Hebrides, said, “This free training will support businesses todevelop the understanding and expertise needed to undertake effective restoration projects and support the region’s wider economic and environmental goals.” 🔗 Read the full article on our website: https://lnkd.in/gtnFHJzv #ThinkUHI #UHINWH #PeatlandACTION #EnvironmentalTraining #NatureScot #ClimateAction
