Description

Activities include the installation of heather bales to block channels, installation of solid dam structures (plastic, metal, timber, woody debris), infilling of channels and flailing of vegetation.
Contractors will be chosen based on capacity, capability, relevant experience including of working in sensitive habitats on protected sites, proposed solution and cost.
