## Notice

The objective of this Contract is the cutting or flailing of vegetation on identified United Utilities plc farm tenancies managed by the RSPB within the Peak District National Park, in order to construct fire breaks, reduce the dominance of particular species and/or facilitate subsequent sward diversification. The work is part of the Nature for Climate Fund capital works programme being delivered by the RSPB. The aim of the cuts is to reduce the dominance of a single species such as heather or Molina, facilitate the inoculation with Sphagnum and other blanket bog species and reduce wildfire risk and intensity. The whole area is entirely within the Dark Peak SSSI, SPA and SAC and is drinking water catchment for Untied Utilities. The work is subject to consent from Natural England.
