Askham Bog was under threat from developers, (Barwood), that had applied to build 500 houses on adjoining land. However, the Secretary of State has recently ruled that the development cannot go ahead so the reserve owned and maintained by the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust is safe and available for everyone to enjoy.

Yorkshire Wildlife Trust: Askham Bog
