Short description: This Manual of Best Practice provides a comprehensive framework and detailed description of the ways in which composts created from bulk organic materials may be used alone or mixed with mineral wastes for the restoration of a wide range of derelict land sites to create green landscapes which encompass newly created habitats of conservation value.The manual carefully explains every step in the process, starting with the legal and regulatory framework, via the various methods of producing compost, establishing a compost site and using the product for creation of habitats for conservation and biodiversity and the remediation of contaminated sites. Not only are restoration practices at the TWIRLS project sites described and assessed but the manual also showcases several case studies of best practice in the use of compost for the creation of habitats and biodiversity on brownfield sites.
