Peat restoration process
The North Pennines National Landscape team follows five basic steps to restore damaged peat. These steps have been modified and designed after researching similar successful peat restoration projects in the UK.
The five basic steps to restoration are:
1) Hydrology : preventing erosion from water
2) Slopes : the levelling of steep slopes and hagg edges
3) Stabilisation : stabilise the damaged peat with moss-rich nurse crop
4) Revegetation : encouraging and promoting vegetation growth
