Ilkley Moor Fire
At the end of July an extensive fire took hold on Ilkley Moor attracting a great deal of local media coverage and anxiety about the destruction of habitat. A week after the fire had been extinguished I visited the site to find the peat still smouldering in places but life beginning to re-establish in others.
