Peatland Restoration – How We Help

Treeclear UK provide peatland restoration in Lancashire, Cumbria, Staffordshire, Lincolnshire, Cheshire, Yorkshire, Northumberland & Co Durham.

We also cover Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire, and Cambridgeshire.

A combination of purpose-built low ground pressure excavators & unique mulching heads enables us to mulch various types of vegetation on virtually any peatland surface.

Our low ground pressure excavators only exert 1.5 psi enabling us to travel over most terrains with minimal damage enabling the ground to quickly recover. The working width is 15 m per pass minimising the area tracked over to less than 15% of the area worked.

• Dense scrub such willow and rhododendron

• Regenerated birch and pine

• Failed softwood plantations

• Unwanted woody vegetation

With various attachments such as tree shears, drum mulchers, timber grabs and stump grinders, our LGP excavators are extremely versatile. Every project is different, and we take pride in working closely with every client to achieve their ultimate objective.
