Restoring the Canada Farm Meadow ditches and replacing defunct culverts will allow water to reach throughout the site all year round. This site will become wetter benefiting wet grassland species and breeding waders, and the high ground-water table will create more favourable anaerobic conditions for peat soils to reduce oxidisation rates and CO₂ emissions. This scheme shall contribute to government targets to reduce CO₂ emissions from peat and improve habitat conditions for the biodiversity of this wetland landscape.
