It is great news indeed Goldie ! Lancashire Wildlife Trust own and manage a great "suite" of lowland raised bogs. The mosses southeast of Wigan, in particular Astley Moss, Bedford Moss and Little Woolden Moss are currently being restored by the Trust. How good would it be to have the "Manchester Argus" back there once again in its rightful place ?!

Welcome news. Clearly this is being done as a result of due and proper research so given that the individuals involved will no doubt be experts in their fields I cannot foresee an issue.
