two.1.4) Short description

Ulster Wildlife has been awarded funding through the DAERA Environment Fund 2023-28, to develop a pipeline of peatland restoration projects that can be implemented using future funding.

A key part of developing peatland restoration plans for sites involves mapping drainage channels, bare peat, peat haggs, turf banks and mapping flowpaths. This process is made much easier with the aid of LiDAR data and high resolution orthophotography.

This contract includes the collection of both LiDAR data and high resolution orthophotography for a large area in the northern Sperrins, Co Londonderry. Much of the area is made up of Carn Glenshane Special Area of Conservation but also includes a large area of publicly owned land to the south of the A6 road surrounding Glenshane Forest.
