Projects

The project aims to enhance the conditions of forest and mire habitats of EU importance by implementing advanced measures of closer-to-nature forestry.  

The project covers four natural areas: the Šimoniu Forest, the Bukta Forest, the Pravirsulio Tyrelis Bog and long time ago abandoned peat cutting area in Dabravole Peatland.

Restoration of cut-over peatlands by by applying paludiculture and other restoration approaches

In Lithuania, peat quarries occupy 20 000 ha, more than half of which are abandoned. Unfortunately  restoration of cut over peatlands in Lithuania is still very slow. 

Based on our own and international experience of scientists and practitioners working in the field of wetland restoration, we offer not only the traditional method of reclamation of exploited peatlands...
