  The Criscione Lab with Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University has initiated their quarterly Lunch and Learn. The next Lunch and Learn will be held virtually on December 2nd, 12:00 - 1:00pm EST discussing Canadian horticultural peat. Our speaker is Stéphanie Boudreau, who is the Vice-President Science and Research Partnership at Canadian Sphagnum Peat Moss Association (CSPMA) and Director of the Québec Horticultural Peat Producers Association (APTHQ). 

  Seminar Title: 
  Canadian Peat - Ideal for Growing. For Generations to Come 

  Seminar Focus: 
  The presentation will highlight 30 years of collaborative research between the Canadian horticultural peat industry and academic partners, particularly through the Peatland Ecology Research Group (PERG). Topics include peatland restoration outcomes, greenhouse gas dynamics, biodiversity recovery, best management practices, certification (Veriflora®), and updated tools such as the industry’s GHG calculator. The seminar emphasizes responsible production, scientific transparency, and continuous improvement.
