The aim of the first workshop is to get an overview of practical experiences and problems encountered in LIFE-Nature and related conservation and restoration projects in raised bogs and sea dunes in the various European countries. During presentations, workshops, and two field excursions managers of nature reserves, policy makers, and scientists of different disciplines will discuss long term effects of threaths (e.g. increased nitrogen deposition, drainage, and fragmentation) on these vulnerable systems, as well as current ecological knowledge, perspectives, and solutions to nature management problems. The concept of the planning and management decision tree and guidelines approach to be worked out in this LIFE Co-op project will be discussed.
