In this project, the approach to restoration is through passive rewilding. Carbon benefits are due to resulting improvements in the condition of ecosystems and reduced fire risk.
For this project, the restoration intervention included in the assessment is afforestation.
The interventions covered in this assessment include peatland re-wetting, expansion of native woodlands across heather moorland, restructuring of Scot’s pine plantations, and the removal of non-native plantations. Cairngorms Connect also undertake collaborative deer management, to allow woodland expansion and peatland recovery, and restoration of floodplain mire and fen.
For this project, interventions include afforestation on heather moorland, restructuring plantations to allow regeneration and rewetting drained peatlands.
For this landscape, the interventions include rewetting drained peatlands and avoiding emissions from deforestation.
