A new peatland restoration project is to be launched to Caithness businesses in early September.

The ‘For Peat’s Sake’ project will commence with a series of classes taught by UHI North in conjunction with Peatland ACTION.

Titled, ‘An Introduction to Peatland Restoration’, this new course will consist of practical and classroom learning in an effort to revive interest in the peatland sector which is in desperate need of new recruits and environmental protection across the Highlands.

The course will offer lessons in local ecology, restoration techniques, and wildlife habits as well as hill working safety.

Caithness - county in the Scottish highlands including the most northerly mainland point in the UK.

Peat - well the Wiki page would be a good start, I imagine.
