Cumbria peat protest

As part of the need to refo­cus our actions on oth­er com­pa­nies like these and not just Scotts, Bolton Fell peat strip­ping site was vis­it­ed on Sun­day 14 Decem­ber 2002. The works was very busy but the fields were wet and emp­ty. Drain­pipes were blocked with bags of peat, a foot­bridge was pushed into a drainage ditch and a small rail­way bridge was dis­man­tled.
