Shropshire Wildlife Trust, Natural England and Natural Resources Wales have been working to restore 665 hectares of the Marches Mosses during the five year project.
The Marches Mosses BogLIFE project is in the running for the 2022 Institution of Civil Engineers, People’s Choice Award.
Robert Duff for the BogLIFE project said: A UK-first for bog edge habitat restoration on this scale, the peatland landscape at multiple locations required reverse engineering, whilst sensitively designing and considering the ecology, wildlife, and local communities. "Local involvement in the project has been key with volunteers devoting some 875 hours of their time to supporting its delivery. The community have been at the heart of this project not only in its execution but also in conception and design, with time spent liaising with disability advocates to ensure new audiences gain access to nature, another central goal of the project," Mr Duff said.
