The Project’s Wetland Officer works directly with a landowners across the Solway Plain to assist and offer advice on improving land for wetland wildlife, largely through higher level stewardship (HLS). The more small “patches” of land improved, the better the area becomes for wildlife on a larger scale, and it is this “patchwork” approach that reaps the best results for biodiversity. The project also takes in water framework directive sites and larger scale peatbog restoration, a habitat type which has suffered much damage over the past few decades.
