Scottish Water Restores 200 Hectares of Peatland

Scottish Water Restores 200 Hectares of Peatland

Published 9 hours ago
Description

Scottish Water successfully completed the second phase of their Loch Katrine peatland restoration project, restoring an additional ninety-four hectares of land. This brings the total restored area to over two hundred hectares, equivalent to two hundred eighty soccer fields. The project aims to improve water quality in the loch, which supplies drinking water to over one million people in Glasgow. The restoration work involves blocking old drains, reshaping bare peat, and planting woodland, all of which help to reduce organic runoff, protect the loch, boost amphibian life, store carbon, and decrease flood risks. The project is part of Scotlands net zero sprint by twenty forty and is funded by Peatland ACTION.
