Projects

Somerset LNP is an organisation that supports its network to deliver projects and initiatives that place nature at the heart of decision-making and help communities and individuals forge better connections with the natural environment. Below are just some of the projects the partnership has supported or been involved in. 

This strategy has been co-created with the help of many partners in the LNP and is a fundamental document in the counties journey to net-zero carbon and a restored natural world.

Brings together those that make a living from peat, farms on peat, conserves and restores peat or manages peat lands in Somerset and North Somerset whether on Exmoor or the Levels and Moors with the aims of retaining the peat that remains, preserving the remaining peat safely and restoring the peat wherever possible.
