Working in partnership with Dartmoor Headwaters Project, Foundation for Common land is delivering a practical one-day workshop in Spring Mire Restoration led by experienced contractor, Andy Coleman, Quantock and Exmoor Ltd.

This one-day workshop will cover the basics of practical spring mire restoration: building leaky dams, flow deflectors, woody dam blocks, low peat bunds and peat hag reprofiling. ​

You will also learn about the archaeology, CDM and other regulations that need to be considered when working in protected landscapes.​
