Description:
This study by Moors for the Future Partnership, commissioned by Natural England, aimed to determine whether it is sustainable to harvest Sphagnum Palustre from areas of SSSI blanket bog for translocation to nearby sites for conservation and restoration purposes. It concluded that within five years a patch of this sphagnum will have recovered enough to harvest again.
