The Yorkshire Peat Partnership, YPP, is a landscape-scale peatland restoration partnership which delivers practical restoration throughout the Yorkshire Region, and is managed by Yorkshire Wildlife Trust. It has recently secured new funding from Yorkshire Water to develop a research programme to develop proxy methods to assess the ecosystem services impacts of different types of Sphagnum inoculation on degraded open blanket habitats and is now looking to appoint a Research Assistant.
