Managing Resources Sustainably in the Black Mountains

Airlifts for Peatland Restoration

A collaborative project from the Black Mountains Land Use Partnership, engaging local landowners, graziers and regulatory bodies it aims to bring about positive social, economic and environmental change through the implementation of cooperative and sustainable land management across the black mountains landscape.

Project activities will include bracken management, heather regeneration and the protection of peat resources. Planned improvements to livestock access will help with stock management and provide a better visitor experience to the area.  

The focus will be on  peatland and bracken management in tandem with improving the visitor experience in the area and engaging local communities who will be involved through developing a rural skills programme, engagement with schools and the creation of employment opportunities.
