The @Teagasc #ReWet team attended the #peatlandfutures event @uniofgalway last week organised by @eco_morley.

The team held an end of year meeting discussing how to analyse the effect of Rewetting on #Agripeat soils!

The @Teagasc ReWet Team had a field day with @flo_renouwilson learning how to classify our transition zone #Peatland sites using @ProjectAuger methods.

It was great to get some learnings which will be taken to the other #ReWet sites!
