Check out our 2025-26 programme for the Peat Café here.

This is our fourth season of hosting the Peat Café; this year, its run by PhD student Isobel Harvey, Nicki Whitehouse and Mel Giles, with others dipping in and out. The Peat Café builds on the network developed through both the University of Glasgow’s Bright Edge Deep and Discipline Hopping Wetlands initiative and Peat: Past Present and Future network based at the University of Manchester and the north-west more widely.

Please feel free to dig in and out of the schedule according to your interests and additional ideas and talks about projects and initiatives are most welcome! Please feel free to share and invite other participants who may be interested in the programme.
