The project is a preparatory and information project that has drawn up an operating model to identify former peat production regions suitable for restoration. The goal is to develop suitable restoration sites into projects that, in turn, progress to implementation and follow-up. The project promotes the implementation of the RCO38 (surface area of rehabilitated land supported) and NO07 (surface area of a restored region released from peat production) indicators’ surface area objectives in two of Ostrobothnian provinces. The goal is to introduce former peat production regions into sustainable after-use and restore them to the extent of 4,000 hectares in South Ostrobothnia, 500 hectares in Central Ostrobothnia, and 80 hectares in Ostrobothnia. The project works closely with landowners of peat production regions in the provinces of South Ostrobothnia and Ostrobothnia. It carries out preliminary investigations of the regions’ restoration possibilities and seeks project parties for the restoration sites. In addition, it conducts investigations and develops plans concerning the restoration sites and the remediation of watercourses burdened by peat production. The Centre for Economic Development, Transport, and the Environment (ELY Centre) answers for the implementation of the aforementioned measures unless other project parties are found. The project spreads information about restoration possibilities and the Just Transition Fund (JTF) to landowners of peat production regions located in the South Ostrobothnia ELY Centre’s sphere of operations. It also carries out preliminary investigations of suitable restoration methods as well as activates and maps possible project applicants for the restoration sites, such as municipalities, SMEs, and associations. Impact evaluation is used to find the best restoration methods to promote the goals of transition plans in South Ostrobothnia and Ostrobothnia. Project activities are divided as follows between the two provinces: 94% in South Ostrobothnia and 6% in Ostrobothnia. Cooperation between other production projects belonging to ELY Centres promotes the restoration of regions distributed over several ELY Centres’ areas of operation. Moreover, the project is co-operating with a group project Turvetuotantoalueet kestävään käyttöön which is implemented in Central Ostrobothnia and coordinated by Natural Resources Institute Finland (Luke). Project activities support both South Ostrobothnia and Ostrobothnia provinces’ regional strategies and objectives of making the provinces carbon negative. The project is in line with the strategies and, for instance, promotes vibrant and sustainable natural environments and habitats, climate-smart and sustainable actions in the land use sector, and the mitigation of climate change and adaptation to global warming. Because it is likely that project parties will not be found for all watercourse remediation and restoration sites, the project fosters watercourse remediation and restoration projects that will be implemented by the South Ostrobothnia ELY Centre. It also develops research and follow-up connected to the after-use of peat production regions and collects information on the environmental effects of new after-use forms in these regions, such as solar power. Attracting research projects into the area requires close cooperation with research institutes and other interest groups. Project activities comply with the Do No Significant Harm (DNSH) principle, meaning that they may not cause any significant harm to the mitigation of climate change, the transition to a circular economy, or the protection of biodiversity. In addition, the project supports the LULUCF regulation on land use, land use change, and forestry, increasing the amount of the land use sector’s carbon sinks.
