Dovestone Reopens After Wildfires | Manchester News
Description
Dovestone Reservoir is officially back open after a devastating wildfire season — flames that scorched 1,250 football fields and forced a major incident declaration. Fire crews battled for weeks under extreme dry conditions, even returning after the main blaze to tackle stubborn flare-ups. Now, with the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds and United Utilities giving the all-clear, nature’s recovery is already visible: green shoots are sprouting, wildlife is returning, and rewetted peatlands survived. But caution remains — report any smoke or fire immediately to 999, and help protect the area by taking your litter home.
