The project will restore the peat bog by damming the drainage system, creating a peat-type wetland and creating pools.

The subject of the revitalization project is the drained peat bog in the Pod Borkovou Nature Reserve, including the drained peat bog outside the nature reserve (cadastral area Horní Planá and Pestřice). The site was originally a peripheral part of a large complex of peat bogs in the Vltava Valley. During the 1960s, these deposits were mined and the valley was flooded with water from the Lipno I reservoir. The edge of the peat bog, which is the subject of the revitalization, remained unflooded, and not all of the peat was mined here either. However, it is interwoven with a network of drainage canals.

The aim of the project is to dam the drainage system to return the groundwater level to the surface of the terrain and restore peat-forming processes and direct succession processes towards a functional peat-type wetland. The project also includes support for the local population of the highly endangered and natural species of the common grouse by restoring open peat biotopes and other habitats that this species seeks out and needs. Therefore, invasive woody vegetation will be significantly reduced in order to open the area to peatland communities and adapt it as much as possible to the requirements of the common grouse, whose occurrence has been repeatedly confirmed in the locality. Revitalization of peatlands disturbed by drainage and the associated stabilization of forestless areas on peatlands is one of the basic conditions for the permanent existence of populations of the common grouse in the bird areas of the NATURA 2000 system, where it is subject to protection.
