Researchers at the University of Stirling are working with Scottish Water to gather data to show the impact of the peatland restoration work on water quality and carbon capture

Scottish Water is restoring over 500 hectares of peatland in East Ayrshire as part of its bid to protect water quality and cut carbon in the face of climate change.

A scheme to create one of the biggest new woodlands in Europe at an iconic Scottish loch - and protect water supplies for generations to come - has taken a major step forward.

Ambitious plans by NI Water to plant 1 million trees across Northern Ireland by 2030 have almost reached the halfway mark.

Scottish Water is creating a new woodland in the Lomond Hills, close to its Lomond Hills reservoir complex in Fife to capture up to 16,000 tonnes of carbon and boost biodiversity.

Natural England has today announced the launch of six projects across England that will receive funding to research how nature-rich woodlands, grasslands, wetlands and urban habitats take up carbon.
