Peatland of Dahner Felsenland in Germany ========================================== Find out more about our Dahner Felsenland wetland in Germany and the biodiversity actions we have initiated. ![dahner-felsenlandschaft](https://img.ecotree.green/flora/forests/dahner-felsenlandschaft/forest-01.jpg?d=240x135) [ Buy trees ](#forest_treeshop) [ See more photos ](#forest_gallery) ### About the Dahner Felsenland wetland ### About the Dahner Felsenland wetland The Dahner Felsenland is located in the **Pfälzerwald-Nordvogesen UNESCO biosphere reserve** and is characterised by sandstone rock formations. Within the Dahner Felsenland is a drained wetland with moorland, which is to be rewetted as part of the ‘Waldmannswiesen’ project. We are supporting the restoration and maintenance of this original wetland as part of nature conservation measures. This original wetland area is located in the Seibertsbach Valley, around three kilometres west of the town of Dahn, and is characterised by the Seibertsbach stream. In its current drained state, the peatland releases the previously stored carbon and thus becomes a source of carbon dioxide. We are working on rewetting this former peatland and wetland area to restore its original function as a carbon storage. Once successfully rewetted, the peatland will become a habitat for rare species and take on water storage and filtration functions.

Rewetting the peat means thinning out woody plants and promoting typical heathland vegetation. The project area has been precisely determined using peatland mapping to identify suitable sections for raising the riverbed and determine the water retention structures' location. The side ditches will be filled in with sections of peat. It will also be necessary to erect wooden sheet-pile dykes to ensure that the water covers the peat - to avoid CO2 emissions.
