An accompanying User Guide is available to support the use of these datasets, and a full list of source datasets and data limitations can be found in the project technical report. This dataset identifies opportunities for bog restoration, primarily through the restoration of existing bog habitat that is currently in a degraded condition. Peat soils beneath coniferous plantations are also highlighted as potential restoration opportunities, particularly where the peat resource remains in good condition. Existing bog habitat is included for reference. Hard-engineering flood management solutions have not been considered.

Catchment zones mapped as part of this project and the predicted future viability of peat under climate change scenarios were used as practical constraints when identifying opportunities for bog restoration to deliver natural flood management (NFM) benefits. Opportunities located on common land are highlighted as requiring additional consideration. This dataset was produced for NRW by Environment Systems Ltd.
