Bare Peat Restoration

DMS offer a total package from site analysis to restoration on the moorland. The need for regeneration of the exposed peat is very important, it reduces erosion, improves water quality and creates unique habitat that has taken thousands of years to form. Our work in this area has been pioneering. Recently, together with United Utilities we have undertaken restoration of bare peat across a 600 hectacre site.

Each site requires a different approach to its successful regeneration where we can help develop a targeted conservation plan. Techniques we are able to advise on and install are extensive and include:

  • Geo-jute/Geogute Application and Installation
  • Double Chopped Heather Brash cutting
  • Aerial Applications
  • Site Fertilisation
  • Heather Brash Application
  • Aerial and Terrestrial Heather Seeding
  • Total Project Management
  • Coir Logs Installation
