4 3 SSSIs

5 4 United Utilities owns 58,000ha of land 17,478ha are SSSI Government’s 2004 spending review 95% of SSSIs in England to be favourable or unfavorable recovering by 31/12/10 England achieving 67.4% target on 31/3/2005 United Utilities SSSI land was achieving 31% at the same time http://www.defra.gov.uk/rural/protected/sssi/psa.htm

6 5 SSSIs – Southern Catchment 2005 - Pre SCaMP

7 6 SSSIs – Bowland catchment 2005 - Pre SCaMP

8 7 Moorland drainage

9 8 DMS Grip blocking

10 9 Four year effect of Grip blocking Goyt – grip blocked and infilling with vegetation naturally Outcome – reduced amplitude of water table, water table closer to surface, so blanket bog condition will be wetter and more consistently wet with fewer drying periods. 2006 2008 2009

11 10 Effect of Grip blocking on the water table High amplitude and low water table in unblocked grips Much reduced amplitude and higher water table after blocking (pre-dated equipment installation – settling period needed first)

12 11 Effect of Grip blocking on vegetation Grip blocking has resulted in increased Sphagna in places

13 12 Grazing

14 13 Fires

15 14 Bare peat
