The Peat Café builds on the network developed through both the University of Glasgow’s Bright Edge Deep and Discipline Hopping Wetlands initiative and Peat: Past Present and Future network based at the University of Manchester and the north-west more widely. The third and current season of the Peat Café is run by Professors Nicki Whitehouse at the University of Manchester and Melanie Giles at the University of Manchester.
In the last Peat Café before Christmas, John Wedgwood Clarke, Rose Ferraby and Fiona Benson of the University of Exeter are presenting 'Bog talk: poetry and people in peatland' from 1 - 2pm GMT.
