Surveying takes place on the moors each week and helps us to understand whether the conservation work we're carrying out is working and whether we can improve in any way.

From surveying and monitoring to preventing moorland fires and improving footpaths and access our conservation work never ends at this special place.

Gully blocking, or slowing the flow of water through deep channels, is used to help with our moorland management. Damning the gullies ensures surrounding peat can stay wet and is therefore more stable, providing better conditions for re-vegetation in the cloughs.
