PLANS to restore an area of raised bog ecosystem near Kirkbride have been approved by Cumberland Council’s planning committee.
The planning application was submitted by Cumbria Wildlife Trust to the local authority for the project at Solway And Duddon Mosses, Anthorn to Whitrigg.
The work will create a network of cell bunding to retain water and ‘re-wet’ the surface, blocking drainage ditches and clearing scrub that dries the peat.
Committee members considered the plans at a meeting at the Copeland Centre in Whitehaven on Wednesday (July 17).
