Other benefits and outcomes include managing water resources more effectively, reducing the risk of flooding in nearby communities and enhancing water quality by filtering pollutants. Farming will benefit from better peatland which has an effect on the economy and employment.
Low Ground Pressure Mulching
Before carrying out specific peatland restoration activities, Treeclear UK makes use of purpose-built low ground pressure machinery to flail and mulch vegetation down to ground level. This crucial first stage clears the area, providing a suitable working surface for effective ditch blocking and bunding. With extensive experience operating across Lincolnshire, Treeclear UK has been delivering professional vegetation clearance and ground mulching services for several years.
Stump Grinding & Stump Augering
In the restoration of peatlands, particularly when converting wooded areas back to bogland, stump grinding and augering are essential techniques. Stump grinding uses specialised machinery, like low-pressure excavators equipped with hydraulic grinding wheels, to remove stumps to ground level or below. Stump augering, in contrast, employs a spiral-shaped hydraulic tool to extract stumps by drilling them out, ensuring minimal disruption to the surrounding environment.
