The Peat Layer was produced by Natural England (ARM team) during June - October 2008, with the aim of identifying the extent of three classes of peaty soils for the purposes of the Partnership Project to Protect and Enhance Peat Soils (aka. The Peat Project). The Peat Project is a joint initiative of: Defra Natural England Environment Agency Forestry Commission Welsh Assembly Government Countryside Council for Wales Northern Ireland Environment Agency Cadw Department for Energy and Climate Change and aims to improve coordination between these partners in our efforts to understand, manage and restore peaty soils. BGS, Cranfield University (NSRI) and OS must be acknowledged in any reports or documents produced as a result of using the Peat layer. Full metadata can be viewed on data.gov.uk.
