25/08/2025  What is the value of peatlands? How can the ecosystem values of rewetted areas in particular be captured and quantified? With the Moormonitor, product designer and peatland enthusiast Milan Bergheim and his colleagues in the Valpeats project are developing an economical and practical monitoring system for this purpose. The aim is to enable peatland areas to be rewetted more quickly and over a larger area and used for paludiculture. Read the full interview here.

28/07/2025  The Moorkoffer 2 (in german) is not a finished suitcase – it is a collection of educational materials for peatland and climate education, designed for teachers, environmental educators, volunteers, and anyone actively engaged in education for sustainable development.
The publication contains 50 methods: from soil drilling and role-playing games to experiments, meditations, and creative reflection formats. These methods are flexible, location-based, and adaptable to different needs – they can be used even without access to a real peatland. All materials are freely available and can be used and shared under the CC BY-NC license, meaning non-commercial use with attribution.
Additionally, there's the musical audio play "Im Libellenwunderland" (in german) for children in daycare centers and primary schools, which playfully explores topics such as biodiversity, water scarcity, and climate change. It is available on Spotify, YouTube, and SoundCloud. The booklet “IM.MOOR.SEIN.”, designed to promote mindful sensory experiences in peatlands, guides individuals and groups of all ages through all four seasons. All materials were developed as part of the MoKKa project by the Succow Foundation and the University of Greifswald.

11/07/2025  The catalogue aims to provide an overview of products, prototypes, and services related to the use of wet or rewetted peatlands. The focus is on highlighting the diversity and innovative strength of the companies involved. The Paludi Product Catalogue is a joint initiative by the partners of the PaludiNetz network but is also open to contributions from outside the network.
To reach the widest possible international audience, the catalogue will be published in both German and English. It will be distributed free of charge in printed form and may also be made available online (depending on the platform). Participation is voluntary and free of charge. The participating companies are responsible for the content they submit. The first edition of the catalogue at the RRR Conference in Greifswald this September.
A prerequisite for inclusion is that submissions are clearly related to the utilisation of wet or rewetted peatlands. The catalogue does not cover management practices or biomass processing technologies. For this area, the project PaludiZentrale is planning a separate platform coming up soon: PaludiScout.de.
If you would like to place a product in the catalogue, you can contact the catalogue team by email at produktkatalog@greifswaldmoor.de .The team can also help with translations.
