Over many years we have supported and commissioned an important range of moorland research projects – each one providing vital information to help further our objectives. We are continuing this programme by identifying key areas of research from which we will disseminate the most up-to-date findings to land managers, practitioners, policy makers and the public.

This page will be updated with new research from our team as it becomes available. For questions about our existing research or to explore partnership opportunities with The Heather Trust, please email us at info@heathertrust.co.uk or reach us via our Contact Us page.
