The heather cuttings, known as brash, in bales on top of the Waun Fach
Hundreds of tonnes of heather cuttings and crushed stone are being airlifted by helicopter to the top of the Black Mountains' highest hill.
The operation is part of repairs to a damaged peat bog and walking route along Waun Fach in the Brecon Beacons.
The repairs are a joint programme to improve biodiversity on the mountains, funded by £200,000 from the Welsh government.
Work on the bog and walking route should be completed within two weeks.
Brecon Beacons National Park Authority, Natural Resources Wales, the Glanusk Estate and the Black Mountains Graziers Association are all involved in the operation.
