### Lot Information

Lot 1

The work in this tender covers a multi-year Peatland Action application for the restoration of open-hill peatland habitat at Nam Breac, RSPB Forsinard, to be undertaken between September 25 to March 26 (Phase 2, 191ha), and September 26 to March 27 (Phase 3, 401ha) (See Annex 1-5). This work follows the completion of Peatland Action funded restoration at Nam Breac Phase 1 in 2024/25.

The restoration will address all of the eroding features on site using suitable machinery for peat-based techniques, and manual construction by hand on very wet ground using plastic pile, wooden and coir log dams. Detailed maps and restoration techniques are included within this tender.
