Abstract: |
This project has further developed and widely implemented a toolkit for the rapid identification, mapping and assessment of small wetland sites within areas of Worcestershire identified as being most under threat from development and other pressures. Such small and discrete sites are often at far more threat than the generally better documented and protected large expanses of blanket peats in England, yet contain unique and important evidence potential. The toolkit provides a rapid approach for the mapping and assessment of such assets within an Historic Environment Record (HER), thereby making the information readily accessible, and ensuring that such significant deposits are better identified, better recognised, and thus more effectively protected in the future. The project has demonstrated that the toolkit is highly effective in providing a rapid overview of the potential of small wetlands in Worcestershire, and is a method that could be replicated elsewhere. |
