This Welsh Peatland Restoration Activities layer consolidates maps of restoration work undertaken across Wales directly by the National Peatland Action Programme (NPAP) in NRW as well as its partner organisations. Restoration activities are presented as polygons containing attributes that detail the broad activity type, site, delivery organisation, start and end date of restoration work. To ensure the consistency and transparency of data recording and reporting, a standardised reporting system is defined Restoration activities on peatlands in Wales: activity classification and codes. Restoration activities are divided into five broad activity types: Hydrological Management, Erosion Control, Tree Management, Vegetation Management and Grazing. Hydrological Management aims to reverse the impact of harmful activities that have resulted in adverse changes to hydrological regimes. Erosion Control aims to reduce the effect of erosional features such as haggs and gullies. These features expose areas of bare peat which are prone to further degradation if left uncontrolled. Tree Management aims to reduce the impact of trees on peatland. Most Tree Management techniques for peatland restoration involve conifer plantation, there are also activities addressing the presence of broadleaf trees. Vegetation Management aims to control the dominance of small numbers of abundant species (e.g. Molinia, Calluna) to ensure the recovery and persistence of mire vegetation. Grazing activities aim to restore and manage peatlands through modifying grazing regimes.

Mae'r Rhaglen Weithredu Genedlaethol ar Fawndiroedd (NPAP) yn cydlynu gwaith adfer mawndir ledled Cymru, ac yn rhoi adroddiadau i Lywodraeth Cymru a’r DU ar weithgarwch adfer. Mae'r haen hon o Weithgareddau Adfer Mawndir Cymru yn cydgasglu mapiau o'r gwaith adfer a wnaed ledled Cymru yn uniongyrchol gan y Rhaglen Weithredu Genedlaethol ar Fawndiroedd (NPAP) yn CNC a hefyd gan ei sefydliadau partner. Cyflwynir gweithgareddau adfer ar ffurf polygonau ac ynddynt briodoleddau sy'n dangos y math o weithgaredd yn fras, y safle, y sefydliad cyflawni, a dyddiad dechrau a gorffen y gwaith adfer. Er mwyn sicrhau cysondeb a thryloywder wrth gofnodi ac adrodd data, diffinnir system adrodd safonedig yn Gweithgareddau adfer mawndiroedd yng Nghymru: dosbarthiad a chodau gweithgaredd. Rhennir gweithgareddau adfer yn fras i bum math o weithgaredd: Rheolaeth Hydrolegol, Rheoli Erydiad, Rheoli Coed, Rheoli Llystyfiant a Phori. Nod Rheolaeth Hydrolegol yw gwrthdroi effaith gweithgareddau niweidiol sydd wedi arwain at newidiadau niweidiol i gyfundrefnau hydrolegol. Nod Rheoli Erydiad yw lleihau effaith nodweddion erydiad fel migwyn a cheunentydd. Mae'r nodweddion hyn yn datgelu ardaloedd o fawn noeth sy'n dueddol o ddiraddio ymhellach os cânt eu gadael heb eu rheoli. Nod Rheoli Coed yw lleihau effaith coed ar fawndir. Mae'r rhan fwyaf o dechnegau Rheoli Coed ar gyfer adfer mawndir yn cynnwys ymdrin â phlanhigfeydd conwydd. Ceir hefyd weithgareddau sy'n mynd i'r afael â phresenoldeb coed llydanddail. Nod Rheoli Llystyfiant yw rheoli goruchafiaeth niferoedd bach o rywogaethau toreithiog (e.e. Molinia, Calluna) er mwyn sicrhau adferiad a pharhad llystyfiant corsydd. Mae gweithgareddau pori yn anelu i adfer a rheoli mawndiroedd drwy addasu trefniadau pori. Diweddarwyd y map hwn ddiwethaf i gynnwys gweithgareddau adfer a adroddwyd i 31 Mawrth 2026. Caiff gweithgareddau adfer eu cofnodi i ddechrau gan NPAP a'i phartneriaid fel pwyntiau, polylinellau a pholygonau yn unol â Gweithgareddau adfer mawndiroedd yng Nghymru: dosbarthiad a chodau gweithgaredd. Yna caiff polygonau gweithgaredd adfer eu creu i gynrychioli'r ardal o fawndir a dargedir gan bob math o weithgaredd, yn unol â chonsensws a'r wybodaeth orau sydd ar gael. Roedd yn ofynnol i staff a phartneriaid NPAP gyflwyno data GIS i ddangos tystiolaeth o'u gwaith adfer. Crëwyd ffeiliau siâp ESRI gan ddefnyddio'r system gyfeirio ofodol OSGB 1936, wedi'u fformatio drwy ddefnyddio templed i safoni casgliadau data.

Restoration activities are initially recorded by NPAP and partners as points, polylines and polygons in accordance with the Restoration activities on peatlands in Wales: activity classification and codes. Restoration activity polygons are then created to represent the area of the peatland targeted by each type of activity in line with consensus and best available knowledge. NPAP staff and partners are required to submit GIS data to evidence their restoration work. ESRI shapefiles were created using the spatial reference system OSGB 1936, formatted using a template to standardise data collection.
