Peatland Restoration Cambridgeshire
TreeClear UK provides end-to-end peatland restoration in Cambridgeshire, as well as providing re-wetting works for local sites within the area.
Areas and specific locations where peatland restoration may be required in Cambridgeshire include the Fenland District, Huntingdonshire, South Cambridgeshire, and the Peterborough area.
Peatlands play a vital role in supporting biodiversity, improving water quality, and capturing carbon.
However, peat bogs have deteriorated over time due to drainage, poor management, and the effects of climate change which will continue to worsen if action isn’t taken.
The combination of purpose-built low ground pressure excavators & unique mulching heads enables us to tackle various types of vegetation on virtually any peatland surface.
Peatland restoration services and techniques used include:
- Surface mulching
- Stump grinding & augering
- Ditch blocking and peat dams
- Reprofiling and bunding
- Re-wetting works

Peatland Restoration Cambridgeshire – The Importance
Cambridgeshire has some amazing peat landscapes, whether it’s across The Fenlands or closer to the outskirts of the city centre, we must do more to protect the ecosystems that exist. After all, they are vital for water regulation, carbon storage and more.
Unfortunately, as time has gone on, degradations have occurred but we are on hand to help and revive peatlands across the UK. In order to support biodiversity and water management, peatlands must undergo large scale restoration projects to ensure healthy green spaces for years to come.
Our key peatland restoration services include:
Surface Mulching
Surface mulching restores degraded peatlands by spreading finely chopped native vegetation, such as heather, to create a protective layer. This layer helps retain soil moisture, enhances organic matter, and encourages the regrowth of native plants essential for peat formation in Cambridgeshire.
Stump Grinding & Stump Augering
Restoring former forested or drained land into healthy peat bogs requires effective stump removal. Using specialised low-pressure machinery equipped with hydraulic grinding wheels, we carry out stump grinding and augering to clear remnants of trees, creating the ideal conditions for natural peatland recovery.
Ditch Blocking and Peat Dams
Managing water levels is crucial for peatland restoration in Cambridgeshire. By blocking old drainage ditches and constructing peat dams, we restore natural water flow, reinforcing underground water boundaries and enabling peatlands to recover their biodiversity and carbon storage capacity.
Reprofiling and Bunding
Reshaping the landscape through reprofiling and bunding enhances water retention and supports peat regeneration. Strategically placed bunds and modified ditches maintain the wet conditions needed for peat-forming vegetation to thrive, accelerating the restoration process.
