Deciding future management options for afforested deep peatland

This guide will help forest managers and agents in Scotland decide the best future management option for afforested deep peat sites (defined here as soils with a peat layer of 50 cm or more). It explains the principles and assessment methods of the ‘Forestry on peatland habitats’ supplementary guidance that Forestry Commission Scotland published in 2014 to support the FC Guideline Note ‘Forests and Peatland Habitats’ (2000).
