This is a spatial dataset describing the geographic focus areas of sites that were investigated under the NCPGS Discovery grant funding. The NCPGS funds peatland restoration and is made up of two grants: Restoration and Discovery. Discovery grants, shown in this spatial dataset, work to unlock barriers and prepare projects for peat restoration. Given the investigative activities undertaken in Discovery grants are difficult to map (like engagement), these have been represented as focus areas, with the intent to represent information at a project level rather than site level.
The purpose of this dataset is to make it more transparent where the NCPGS has funded preparatory peatland survey work; peat depth, hydrological, archaeological or ecological survey. Whilst the specifics of these surveys are not represented here, the peat team may hold more detailed information associated with the Discovery focus areas shown Attribution statement: © Natural England copyright and/or database right 2023.
