I’ve been working with the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on a number of projects. For this one, I got the fun of analysing the data and making the poster, while Alistair had the fun of travelling up to the IUCN conference and sharing our findings; we have some good indications that blocking the drains is effective. The photo of the blocked drain in the bottom left is a bit of a cheat as it is from drain blocking by the Northumberland Wildlife Trust 20 years back on Coom Rigg (Border Mire). But it matched my colour scheme (and is exactly what we want to achieve), so was difficult not to include.
