🧵 2/2.
Just above the Lecht ski centre, it was interesting to see an area of deliberately raising the water table to waterlog the peat, several different techniques are being used:

1. Turf piled up on the downslope to create a pond.
2. A series of small turf dams to slow the flow.
3. Wooden boards used to create dams to slow the flow.

And matting to protect the ground and retain vegetation.
