The Environmental Protection Agency is funding this major research project on sustainable peatland management in Ireland which is being led by University College Dublin and includes partners from many organisations around Ireland. Funded under the ?Sustainable Development? measure of the research programme, this project will, during its three year duration (2005-2008), address peatlands from four dimensions: Environmental, Social, Economic and Institutional and will bring this work together to develop a protocol for the sustainable management of peatlands in Ireland.
