	\|Project summary=The Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust has been running the Pumlumon Living Landscape Project (Photo 1 and Map 1) since 2005, during which time it has developed and demonstrated the benefits of an ecosystem approach to landscape, people, the economy and wildlife. Rewetting upland peat bogs, through the blocking of drainage ditches, improves their condition and water retention capability, creates new areas for wildlife, and helps reduce climate affecting emissions. The Pumlumon project recognises that the future for upland farming is threatened; however, there is also awareness that the uplands of Wales offer vital economic opportunities both in terms of carbon and floodwater.		\|Project summary=The Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust has been running the Pumlumon Living Landscape Project (Photo 1 and Map 1) since 2005, during which time it has developed and demonstrated the benefits of an ecosystem approach to landscape, people, the economy and wildlife.

	• The Pumlumon Living Landscape Project has identified a number of ditch blocking methods to support floodwater management works across of range of sites.
	• The capital works cost to carry out effective flood water management techniques on degraded bog is minimal. However, it represents a potentially valuable economic opportunity for upland landowners.		* The Pumlumon Living Landscape Project has identified a number of ditch blocking methods to support floodwater management works across of range of sites.
