  • Contract Summary

    Site works to restore lower section of Snag Valley fen, at the southern edge of Hartland Moor within the Purbeck Heaths National Nature Reserve, as part of a wider project led by the Dorset Peatland Partnership. The aim is to secure peat forming habitats, improve peat condition, slow flow rates and maximise Carbon capture within currently degraded mire and fen systems. This will be achieved using a range of sensitive restoration techniques that are described in more detail in the attached restoration plans and project specifications. Activities include removal of Alder coppice and rootballs, and a section of mature Alder trees to reduce water loss through evapotranspiration; use of cut timber and root balls to infill channels; mulching of selected areas of wetland grasses and vegetation to ground level; and installation of timber dams in the main drain channel to hold back water, slow the flow of losses and re-wet the floodplain. Contractors will be chosen based on capacity, capability, relevant experience including of working in sensitive habitats on protected sites, proposed solution and cost. Full details including of how to apply are in the attached Request for Proposals document.
