National Trust Peatland Restoration Llanafan Common 2025

Description

The site features a mixture of all condition categories found within the IUCN Field Protocol. This project aims to tackle the areas defined as actively eroding hagg/gully, by carrying out hagg reprofiling. Some peat bunds where suitable, will also be created. Through these interventions, the expected outcomes are to reduce further erosion and carbon loss, encourage vegetation establishment, improve water quality and slow water flow. Working eastwards from what3words ///buzzing.rags.vessel , the chosen contractor will carry out 6km of hagg reprofiling. The location of haggs will be marked on National Trust’s GIS system and accessible on a tablet device. A device will be provided by National Trust and will allow contractors to locate themselves.
