This video describes how NAIT's Boreal Research Institute in Peace River introduces appropriate pioneer species to facilitate the re-vegetation process on peatland.
Site re-vegetation is an important phase in peatland restoration. Prior to re-vegetating a peatland site, appropriate methods should be used to adjust the soil and address the hydrologic disturbance. At NAIT Boreal Research Institute (NBRI) we have successfully implemented the Peat Inversion technique to connect water flow between the surrounding natural peatland and the reclaimed site, thus facilitating the establishment and development of vegetation.
