Peatland Restoration - Kirkconnell Flow
Kirkconnell Flow Nature Reserve - A major project over the last 20 years to restore an area of badly damaged peatland near Dumfries.
Around 90 hectares of lowland raised bog has now been restored at NatureScot’s Kirkconnell Flow Nature Reserve, thanks to funding from Peatland Action.
Kirkconnell Flow is an important example of an ancient raised bog. The peat bog is now making a 'remarkable recovery', with peat laid down at a rate of 1mm a year. The peat has a depth of 6-10m.
