Trial Opportunity: Scaling Sphagnum Restoration Through Mechanisation

We’ve been developing something exciting at BeadaMoss – a modified planting machine designed specifically for Sphagnum moss restoration.
Built from a vegetable planting system and adapted for peatland conditions, this machinery has the potential to:

Significantly increase planting speed
Operate without PTO or electricity
Free up skilled teams to focus on more complex terrain

Early upland trials have successfully handled tougher ground, including heather debris.

Now, we’re looking to take the next step.

We’re inviting partners to trial the machine in real-world restoration settings.
We’re particularly interested in:

Upland testing (including the three-row setup)
Higher-density planting approaches
Combined planting (e.g. Sphagnum + cotton grass)

This is a chance to:

Get early access to new restoration technology
Help shape the next iteration of the machine
Contribute to scaling peatland restoration in a meaningful way

If you’re working in restoration and would like to be involved, let’s talk.
