This document is part of a series written by experts in ecological restoration from the UK and Ireland, led by members of CIEEM’s Ecological Restoration Special Interest Group. The series is prefaced by ten good practice principles for ecological restoration, set out in Rebuilding nature: Good practice guidance for ecological restoration, and includes five Overarching Topics that apply to any ecological restoration project in the terrestrial, freshwater and marine environments of the UK and Ireland.

Accompanying the five Overarching Topics are the habitat specific documents applicable to ecological restoration projects. The first habitat specific guidance document covers the restoration of bogs and can be downloaded on this page.
