Upland restoration and land management projects - summary of research activity
Early in 2011 the Upland Hydrology Group asked the principal upland restoration projects across England and Wales to tell us about their research and monitoring activities. The purpose of this was so everyone can know what others are up to, and hopefully ensure the totality of our activities will be greater than the sum of the parts.
