Project Abstract
Peatlands - A New Conversation. Tullamore June 7 - June 11, 2015 will be a major international conference to be attended by over 200 delegates from around the world. Organised under the auspices of the International Peat Society, the conference will adopt a new approach to the peat debate. An innovative structure will ensure issues will be thoroughly discussed and debated. From wise use to responsible use, from sustainability to eco-system services, the many and varied perspectives and viewpoints will be asked to have a real conversation about the way forward. A series of expert-led master classes on key topics such as peatlands and climate change will be held on conjunction with related field trips. The core objective is to ensure that the different outlooks have the opportunity to challenge and learn from each other and hopefully advance their mutual understanding of these issues.
