Future Prospects
LIFE09 NAT/IE/000222 "Demonstrating Best Practice in

and Coillte - see www.raisedbogrestoration.ie
• Continued habitat stability and re-wetting will benefit birds
• Removal of brash volumes would hasten bird usage (balance of micro- and macro-habitat structure and rehabilitation).
• Care of scrub encroachment and/or regeneration
