The Moorland Research Forum acts as a discussion
and meeting space for scientists and practitioners in the Peak District
National Park. We disseminate information though this web site,
the library and research suite at the Moorland
Centre, publications,
annual conference and research day. More
The Moorland
Centre at Edale opened to researchers and the general public
during September 2006. The centre holds a research suite with a
library and a GIS computer to explore our database. A small meeting
room at the new centre can be booked for discussions or as an occasional
base for fieldwork or to use our resources.
Our specialist moorland library is currently
being developed and a searchable database of titles will be available
on this web site. Any contributions to our library or database such
as reports and reprints of journal articles are very welcome. Our
database, including extensive datasets from our partners and new
datasets from our surveys, will be accessible and available for
non-commercial use subject to our data
application procedures. Visitors welcome by appointment.
We have produced a series of research notes
and research reports in order to disseminate the results from our
surveys. These are available as free downloads from the Publications
page of this site.
Since its conception in 2003, Moors for
the Future have held an annual conference to bring together academics
and professionals to discuss and share best practice with regards
to moorland research and how to take this and future ideas forward.
Information from the conferences is available
below. Please contact
us if you require additional information on any of the conferences
or workshops.

Our small projects grant scheme has
been able to help researchers undertake applied research projects
relating to the Peak District moorlands. The scheme is now in its
third year and has proved fantastic value for money. To date we
have been able to assist a total of 29 projects from a wide range
of disciplines.
