About this grant

England’s peatlands are our largest terrestrial carbon stores and provide several environmental benefits, however, approximately 87% of England’s peatlands are degraded, damaged and dried out, emitting approximately 8 million tonnes of carbon dioxide each year. Defra is now launching the Peatland Restoration Sector Capacity Grant Scheme, which will provide funding for a range of activities that will remove barriers to peatland restoration to grow and develop the scope and size of the peatland restoration sector. The scheme will run from 2026 to 2030 with a total value of £1.15m. The scheme will have annual rounds of competition offering individual grant awards up to and including £20,000 with a term of 12 months.
