Upland landscapes provide vital direct and indirect benefits to society and the economy. To better understand, manage and communicate the socio-economic benefits of nature, policy-makers are increasingly adopting the concept of 'ecosystem services' (Rafaelli and White, 2013). In the UK, upland management has traditionally prioritised 'provisioning ecosystem services' based around production, such as sheep-farming and forestry. However, this has caused significant environmental damage with widespread impacts, such as water pollution and lowland flooding. These issues have elicited proposals for the uplands to be 'rewilded' (Merckx and Pereria, 2015), and for policies to be directed towards payments for ecosystem services (PES) to ensure the uplands provide a broader range of socio-economic as well as environmental benefits. In the UK, debates about the future of the uplands have been reinforced by the impending policy vacuum when the UK leaves the EU, meaning many upland policies, including the Common Agricultural Policy, will be superseded by UK-specific legislation.This project will work with Moors for the Future Partnership (MFFP), to explore how integrated solutions can be delivered at the landscape-scale in the uplands of the PDNP and South Pennines. MFFP has a number of projects to restore natural vegetation in the uplands, including restoring blanket bog and planting woodlands on steep upland valleys; the latter led by the Forestry Commission's 'Woodlands for Water' project, identifying potential areas for upland afforestation.

高地景观为社会和经济提供了重要的直接和间接利益。为了更好地理解、管理和宣传自然的社会经济效益，决策者越来越多地采用“生态系统服务”的概念（Rafaelli和白色，2013年）。在英国，高地管理传统上优先考虑基于生产的“提供生态系统服务”，如牧羊和林业。然而，这造成了严重的环境破坏，影响广泛，如水污染和低地洪水。这些问题引发了对高地“野化”的建议（Merckx和Pereria，2015年），以及针对生态系统服务付费（PES）的政策，以确保高地提供更广泛的社会经济和环境效益。在英国，随着英国脱离欧盟，即将出现政策真空，包括共同农业政策在内的许多高地政策将被英国特定的立法所取代，这加剧了关于高地未来的辩论。该项目将与摩尔未来伙伴关系（MFFP）合作，探讨如何在PDNP和南奔宁山脉的高地提供规模化的综合解决方案。MFFP有一些项目来恢复高地的自然植被，包括恢复毯状沼泽和在陡峭的高地山谷种植林地;后者由林业委员会的“林地换水”项目领导，确定高地造林的潜在地区。
