🌿 Peat in Practice: Camp Update

Check out some highlights from the first 2 days of RE-PEAT's youth-led peatland restoration camp in the Irish Midlands - the energy has been incredible!

📍 Day 1 — Arrival & kickoff: campers from all backgrounds coming together for a shared mission and receive their workbook for the duration of their camp
📍 Day 2 — Learning how wet agriculture can restore degraded peatland while keeping farms productive

Two more days to go!

Peat in Practice is organised by earth in collaboration with Green Restoration Ireland's project, the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, the Abbeyleix Bog Project, and Clara Heritage Society.

What does the future of Ireland's peatlands look like?

Peatlands for Prosperity recently invited local primary schools near Shinrone to take part in "Re-imagine Future Peatlands," a competition rooted in real landscape, real science, and real community thinking. After visiting our showroom paludiculture farm to learn about bog ecology and wetter farming systems, classes were challenged to reimagine cutover bog, forestry land, or remnant peatland for restoration and paludiculture.

Featured:
🥈 Second Place: Seir Kieran's National School, Clareen — a vibrant, multifunctional vision blending paludiculture, biodiversity, and community use.

Congratulations to all the students, Sinead Murphy for bringing this to life in the classroom at Seir Kieran's National School!

Happy International Bog Day! 🌿

Today we recognise Ireland's peatlands as some of our most powerful natural carbon stores and biodiversity habitats. Green Restoration Ireland works with farmers and communities on peatland water table management, restoring habitat function while supporting viable, farmer-led land use. Nature-based solutions like this sit at the heart of Ireland's climate-smart agriculture pathway.

This August, RE-PEAT and Green Restoration Ireland are teaming up for Peat in Practice, a hands-on restoration camp bringing together young people (ages 18–30) from across Ireland and beyond to learn, work, and connect on the front lines of peatland conservation.

From 24–28 August 2026, participants will roll up their sleeves at three unique sites in the Irish Midlands — Farm Carbon Transitions paludiculture showcase farm, Clara Bog, and Abbeyleix Bog — gaining real-world experience in restoration techniques, paludiculture, and peatland ecology, all while building community with fellow changemakers.

📅 Spots are limited — register today and help us restore Ireland's bogs, one hands, one story, one hectare at a time. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeWdHM34BbAOO7LA-8gtE_s3VDfrY6MjKf7bkkiLHD0VNRa3g/viewform

There's a particular kind of luck in this job.

Our team has been out prepping a paludiculture site — boots in the bog, hands in the soil, getting the groundwork right before the real transformation begins.

It's not glamorous work. But then you look up and see all of this.

We get to do climate-smart agriculture work and call it our office. Not a bad deal.

🌱 Farming in North-West Europe is at a turning point.

Soil degradation, climate extremes, and economic pressure are pushing farms to the edge — while a whole generation of farmers is preparing to retire.

Smart Carbon Farming is turning this challenge into an opportunity.

Our upcoming training programme equips farmers with practical skills to restore soil health, adapt to extreme weather, and make carbon farming a verifiable, bankable business model.

From regenerative practices to carbon finance basics, the programme is designed to support both new and transitioning farmers in building resilient, profitable farms.

Healthy soils. Future-ready skills. A new generation of climate-smart farming.

🌍🌱The agricultural sector in North-West Europe is at a turning point. With a goal to reach, The Smart Carbon Farming (SCF) project is here to turn carbon sequestration from a challenge into a business model. Whether you are in the field, advising entrepreneurs, or studying the next generation of ag-tech, our Capacity building programs are designed for you!

Why should you join?

- Get inspired and master regenerative practices: Whether you work on mineral soils or peatlands (organic soils), discover how to sustainably store carbon and restore the fertility of your fields.

- Become more autonomous in your assessments: Don’t rely solely on laboratories anymore. We equip you with a toolkit to assess the health of your soil yourself in the field (spade test, earthworm count, infiltration test).

- Understand carbon financing: Learn how to turn your carbon savings into tangible revenue through credits and other mechanisms.

Don’t miss the chance to be part of the 50 pioneers leading the transition to a sustainable and future-proof agricultural sector.

The training course takes about ten hours to complete in order to earn certification.
