Power to the Peatlands

Following the successful first edition in Belgium (2023), we are pleased to announce the second European Power to the Peatlands conference. Please save the dates in your calendar!

When? 8, 9, and 10 September 2026
Where? Brabanthallen, 's-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands

Power to the Peatlands 2026 will connect science, policy, and practice through lectures, interactive workshops, and field visits. The conference will focus on applying both existing and new knowledge and research to daily practices in management, design, environmental management and policy implementation. It offers a unique opportunity for researchers, management officers, market participants and government representatives to share experiences and results, and engage in meaningful discussion.

The conference is scheduled shortly after the set deadline for the EU Nature Restoration Law's national restoration plans. This timing provides a critical platform to move from planning to action. Together, we will explore how these plans can be implemented and identify key scientific contributions and urgent questions facing the peatland community in the coming years. 

The event is organised by Natuurmonumenten, Radboud University, and the project partners of Interreg ADMIRE.
This is done in coalition with the and European chapter of the Society for Ecological Restoration, Greifswald Mire Centre and Michael Succow Foundation, Wetlands International and Eurosite.
