Purchase of a new mulcher head designed for forestry sites. It will be a heavier duty head that will be able to do a more efficient job of clearing scrub on the sites with less down-time due to mechanical issues. It will be used mainly on LIFEquake sites, but will be available to other teams to use. LIFEquake (LIFE20 NAT/UK/000137) is a 5-yr EU funded project, run by NRW, working on 7 SACs in Wales – Crymlyn, Gweunydd Blaencleddau, NW Pembrokeshire Commons, Preseli, Rhos Goch, Cors Caron & Corsydd Eifionydd. Securing the resilience of transition mire & quaking bog in Wales. The aim is to bring internationally important habitats and species of the peatlands into good condition. Currently these rare and threatened wildlife features are in an unfavourable condition and at risk of further decline. Pistenbully machine is a low ground pressure machine capable of accessing the very wet sites in the LIFEquake project. A new mulcher head is required to effectively manage this sites, due to a lot of mechanical issues with the current flail head.
