National Peatland Action Programme (NPAP) Funded Peatland Restoration Activities 2020-2023 – GIS Dataset
The total activities footprint for NPAP funded restoration work from programme inception in 2020 to 2023. This layer covers both NPAP direct delivery restoration work and restoration delivered by partners across several NPAP grant streams: Strategically Allocated Funds (SAF), Section 16 Land Agreements and Competitive Grants. The activities footprint is formatted as a shapefile layer, comprised of polygons representing restoration activities across Wales
Restoration Activity Footprint
This dataset shows the total area of peatland restoration across Wales up to present day. The data is presented as a polygon shapefile, with the unit of measurement being hectares.
Restoration Activities
This dataset shows the total area, measured in hectares, of peatland restoration that carried out across Wales up to the present date. The data is presented as a polygon shapefile that captures restoration activities. Restoration activities have been divided into five broad groups: 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.
The data is broken down into polygons with columns detailing the broad activity types, sites, delivery organisation, start and end dates of restoration activity, and the financial year it occurred in.

Data was collected in the form of point, polylines and polygons. NPAP staff and partners were 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.
