Description

It is proposed to investigate the hydrological characteristics of the west Surrey Hills AONB, improve understanding of peat in the landscape, and to identify priority areas for heathland and peatland restoration. The objectives are: 1) carry out a high-level, desk-based hydrological assessment of the project area in order to identify focus areas that are more likely to have been hydrologically modified; 2) Identify and map known and likely presence of peat across the project area; 3) Prepare detailed hydrological mapping and peat mapping for selected areas; 4) Identify priority areas and actions needed to restore more natural hydrological regimes, across landscapes including peatlands, heathlands other semi-natural habitats and watercourses; and 5) Develop detailed proposals for habitat restoration projects, based on the priority areas and actions identified above, to be delivered in year two of the project.
