Description

NRW also require other general survey works, e.g. peat depth surveys, GIS interpretation on the ground ( e.g. marking out of mapped interventions on the ground), and other wider surveys that inform the distribution and character of peatlands across Wales, that may or may not be on the WGWE. Below we detail the specifics of the most technical element of this work, which is the assessment of the WGWE.
