Reprofiling project: September 2016
A major piece of work, funded by LLLP and Portmoak Community Woodland Group is under way on the Moss. Read more details here.
Basically we have been so successful in raising the water table that now we have to safeguard against the danger of bog burst. To do that we are reprofiling the steep peat banks at the edges of the Moss and putting in some peat dams on the surface to limit run off through the old drainage channels. The work will take about a month to complete and there shouldn't be too much disruption to walking round the paths. This could become a Best Practice for the restoration of raised peat bogs.
