Peat Needs 2025

PeatNeeds is back for financial support of peatland ECR during spring 2025!

We are able to provide Peat ECR with micro-funds, with help from the peatland-loving community. Thanks to some very generous donations, we are able to bring back #PeatNeeds in the lead up to the 2025 summer field season!

We will award three Peat ECR with up to $100 CAD each, during March, April and May 2025 (nine awards in total). 


Requirements

  • You are a Peat ECR (early career researchers/students/professionals - within 7 years of terminal degree)
  • You work in a peat/peatland-related project 
There are no country or age restrictions! All Peat ECR from anywhere in the world and any age category are eligible to apply (if requirements mentioned above apply). 

Exclusions
  • If you have previously been awarded a PEAT Needs micro-grant, you are not eligible to apply this year
