The invention relates to a method for the reseeding and revegetation of an area of an essentially dry peat bog, or the like, and comprises the steps of firstly wetting / rewetting the whole of the area, providing seeding sites 30 appropriately spaced across the area where water can pool 37, reseeding 38 the area so that the seed (36 figure 7) will be introduced to said seeding sites and, when rain falls and pools form, becoming established at the edges of the pools and rooting 38A into the moist soil 1A there. The method wets / rewets the whole volume of the peat down to the water table over the whole volume of the peat in the treated area. The whole process may be completed in a single pass by a specialised tracked vehicle. Embodiments for harvesting Sphagnum species and transporting the seed from the donor site to the receptor site are taught so that the seed arrives and is sown in a condition maintaining its maximum vitality. Variations of the method for a range of different peat bog conditions are also taught. |
