Peatland Action RESTORATION PROJECT - Application The Peatland Action Fund provides funding for projects that restore, or lead to the restoration of peatlands, or encourage wider engagement with peatlands in Scotland.

This application form is for peatland restoration projects only. If you have not already done so, we recommend you talk to one of our advisors before completing this application form. (If you are interested in a feasibility study you should also talk to one of our advisors.) Please email us at [email protected] and we’ll arrange for a local advisor to contact you.

Before completing this application form, you must also read our guidance Applying for funding - Information for Applicants, Peatland Action – FAQs and Peatland Action - Outcomes & Eligibility which provide information on the fund, eligibility and your responsibilities. You should also look at the Final Report template which covers the information you must provide when your project is completed. These documents can be found on our website where you will also find all the templates and guidance notes referred to in this document.

During the 2019/20 funding round, we will only assess activities you plan to deliver within agreed timescales i.e. by 28 February 2020 at the latest, although where possible, we want projects to complete by 31 December 2019 to avoid the significant impacts of winter weather. We are however keen to understand future demand for restoration activity so please note any further restoration works, with estimated costs, that may be undertaken subject to funds being available in future years. If funds are confirmed for future years, we will contact you to discuss your plans and any future application.

Please note any funding contract will be with the Applicant and the Applicant will be responsible for compliance with the terms and conditions of any funding that may be offered. If the Applicant is unsure about their obligations, we advise the Applicant to take professional or legal advice. If the Applicant engages an Agent, the Applicant will still be responsible for ensuring the project delivers as planned and to agreed timescales. The Applicant will also be responsible for making sure that: any contractors employed are suitably qualified and/or experienced any necessary permissions or consents are in place safe working practices are followed regular progress reports (e.g. monthly) about your approved activities are submitted on time
