LIFE+ Project – Restoring the Humberhead Peatlands Mid-Project Workshop
This is an opportunity for you to join a one-day workshop and find out how Natural England and our partners are helping to restore the precious lowland raised bog habitat of the Humberhead Peatlands National Nature Reserve, covering Thorne, Hatfield, Crowle and Goole Moors, in South Yorkshire, England.
Come along and see how European investment has been used so far to manage the water levels using dams, weirs and bunds and by clearing scrub vegetation to reduce the amount of water being sucked out of the peat. And how through the recreation of boggy conditions, invertebrates are flourishing and the European Nightjar is thriving.
The workshop will combine lively and engaging onsite sessions, delivered by the people undertaking the work on the ground. There will also be a chance for you to learn about the techniques being used, the lessons learned and the results so far.
You can also meet the researchers and local amateurs who have contributed and shaped the Humberhead Peatlands over the years.
We are able to offer this workshop free of charge, as it has been generously funded by the European Union LIFE+ Nature and Biodiversity Project: LIFE13NAT/UK/00451.
Please email humberhead.peatlands@naturalengland.org.uk for the workshop programme and booking form. Places are limited so please book early.
