The Government recognises the importance of England’s peatlands. Currently, peatland restoration is funded via the Nature for Climate Peatland Grant Scheme. After 2026, peatland restoration will be primarily funded through Environmental Land Management schemes, such as the Landscape Recovery Scheme and Countryside Stewardship Scheme.
