#WetlandHeritageChat on Wednesday the 21st April: How do people use and engage with peatlands and their heritage?

One aspect of the WetFutures project is to explore the different ways in which people think about and use peatlands, and what this means for peatland heritage and how that is managed. 

In this fourth #WetlandHeritageChat, we’re focusing on the different ways that people use and engage with peatlands. Join us on Wednesday the 21st April (12pm UK/Ireland, 1pm Netherlands) to collectively discuss: 

• What do people do when they spend time in peatlands? 

• What role might cultural heritage play in how people spend time in peatlands? 
• In what ways do these uses impact peatlands and their heritage?  
• What about those people who don’t or can’t access peatlands physically? 

We’re interested in hearing your views whether you use peatlands for leisure activities or have a professional role that involves spending time in peatlands.  

WetFutures team members will be there to share some of what we have learnt from our research, and we’d love to hear your views on how you and others use and engage with these fantastic environments and their heritage. 

If you’ve not joined a twitter chat before it’s a great opportunity to make connections, learn and share ideas and work on a topic.  

How it works 
A twitter chat is simply a collaborative online conversation organised around a central theme or topic. To take part, you just need to be logged in to twitter and use the search function to find the hashtag  #WetlandHeritageChat.  
Over the course of the hour, we’ll prompt discussion with a series of questions (numbered Q1, Q2, Q3 etc) and encourage you to respond by joining the conversation; tweeting your response/reflections using the #WetlandHeritageChat hashtag, and A1, A2, A3, etc to indicate which question you’re responding to. You don’t have to respond to the questions but we hope you will, and your comments, questions and reflections will be valued if you do.  
If you follow our twitter account (@WetFutures) you’ll find it easier to keep track of the questions. 
If you can’t join the twitter chat as it happens, you can still see the discussion (and add your responses) afterwards using the #WetlandHeritageChat hashtag. We will also archive the chat and share the link via twitter. 
Join us! 

Why not block the date in your diary and join us over lunch on the 21st April (12-1pm in UK and Ireland, 1-2pm in the Netherlands)? ​
