In our manifesto we said that we will expand nature-rich habitats such as wetlands and peat bogs.
In Somerset we are restoring and improving our peatlands through a number of projects, including the Nature for Climate Peatland Grant Scheme, Landscape Recovery, and the Paludiculture Exploration Fund.
