The GLNP Habitat network model maps are based on methodology developed by Natural England. Network models are available for each Priority habitat. Two 'zones' are produced for each Priority habitat: 1) the Network Enhancement Zone; this shows where action can be targeted to expand and reinforce the existing networks and 2) the Network Expansion Zone; this shows where action can be targeted to improve connections between the different the individual networks.
Areas that are of particular importance for biodiversity
Priority 35 Action 86
Improve water level management by blocking drains and damming ditches to raise the water table and re-wet the surface. Based on GLNP Lowland fen Priority habitat data.
Priority 35 Action 87
Buffer lowland fen sites by encouraging peat development through rewetting and creating supporting habitats. Based on GLNP Lowland fen Priority habitat data buffered by 250m.
Priority 35 Action 88
Manage scrub and maintain appropriate grazing levels. Based on GLNP Lowland fen Priority habitat data.
Priority 36 Action 89
Improve water level management by blocking drains and damming ditches to raise the water table and re-wet the surface while ensuring there are higher, drier areas with hare’s tail cottongrass to act as refugia for Large Heath larvae. Based on GLNP Lowland raised bog habitat data.
Priority 36 Action 90
Buffer lowland raised bog sites by encouraging peat development through rewetting and creating supporting habitats. Based on GLNP Lowland raised bog Priority habitat data.
Priority 36 Action 91
Plant cotton grass and or sphagnum on rewetted bog surfaces, to stabilise the peat and keep it wet. Based on GLNP Lowland raised bog Priority habitat data.
Priority 36 Action 92
Manage scrub to increase suitable habitat for large heath butterfly and other members of the lowland bog species assemblage. Based on GLNP Lowland raised bog Priority habitat data.
