Peat bog restoration

The video below was originally produced to provide attendees at a SNH Sharing Good Practice event on Restoration and Decommissioning of Windfarms with a 'virtual' site visit to highlight good practice techniques and management options for peat bog restoration.

The video is approximately 13 minutes long and covers such topics as:

• ditch blocking and damming techniques
• peat depth surveys
• livestock management on restoration sites
• woodland management, particularly regeneration
• water tables
• sphagnum mosses and other bog flora and fauna
