A wildlife trust is looking to restore some of its peatlands which were historically burned to help heat homes.

Cumbria Wildlife Trust conservation manager David Harpley said the group wanted to restore about 14 acres at Burns Becks Moss in Killington, near Kendal.

The land is degraded because its peat had been burned as fuel for hundreds of years, said Mr Harpley.

The trust hopes to get planning permission for the works so that restoration can start in the autumn.
