Raised Bog Restoration Removal of conifers LIFE09 NAT/IE/ "Demonstrating Best Practice in Raised Bog Restoration in Ireland“ which is funded by the EU, NPWS and Coillte - see Blocking drains

Data collection Four survey sites (Girley Bog, Lough Forbes, Scohaboy Bog & Ballygar Bog) Transects walked in 2012 (baseline) Same routes walked in 2015 Bird and habitat data collected LIFE09 NAT/IE/ "Demonstrating Best Practice in Raised Bog Restoration in Ireland“ which is funded by the EU, NPWS and Coillte - see

Results Overall transect length 7,682m Five habitat categories: Conifers Woodland Open clearfell Dense clearfell Bog Four habitat niches: Conifer (specialist) Bog (specialist) Woodland (generalist) Other (generalist) LIFE09 NAT/IE/ "Demonstrating Best Practice in Raised Bog Restoration in Ireland“ which is funded by the EU, NPWS and Coillte - see

Future Prospects LIFE09 NAT/IE/ "Demonstrating Best Practice in Raised Bog Restoration in Ireland“ which is funded by the EU, NPWS and Coillte - see Continued habitat stability and re-wetting will benefit birds Removal of brash volumes would hasten bird usage (balance of micro- and macro-habitat structure and rehabilitation). Care of scrub encroachment and/or regeneration
