Satakunta peatlands

from peat production to new livelihoods and meanings

SATUMAA

The project supports the new multi-use of Satakunta peatlands and just transition by producing, gathering and sharing information to support private and public decision-making and by bringing stakeholders together. Stakeholders are those whose lives directly or indirectly are connected to peatlands, including those that live near. In the project, at least three different types of former peat production areas will be selected, for which suitable uses will be mapped. The project uses existing projects as examples of what can be done in Satakunta. The project produces an information tool that supports landowners, companies and authorities in selecting a new use for each peatland that creates new livelihoods and meanings in an ecologically sustainable way and maximizes the social-ecological benefits.
