Restoring Peatland Habitats and Processes
We’re focused on restoring Cumbria’s peatlands, which play a vital role in water management and carbon storage.
Our initial restoration work in Wasdale will set the stage for healthier peatland ecosystems.
Monitoring Water Table Levels
We’ve installed water loggers in Wasdale’s restored and control sites to track changes in water levels. These readings help us understand how restoration impacts water retention.
Tracking Stream Flow from Peatlands
By installing V-notch weirs in Wasdale, we’re measuring stream flow to see how restored and unrestored peatlands affect water movement in the area.
