Through eight Work Packages, the WaterLANDs project is working to restore wetlands sites across Europe which have been damaged by human activity and laying the foundations for upscaling protection across more areas.

Our project will help to restore six wetland sites across Europe. It will also gain from the experience of 15 Knowledge Sites.
