Peat Cutting halted on Hatfield Moors?

Thanks to a new £17.3 m initiative by English Nature and central government, Thorne and Hatfield Moors have been purchased from Scotts. Peat extraction ceased immediately on Thorne, but continued on Hatfield Moors for a further 2 years. Extraction has now mostly ceased on Hatfield Moors, but some limited extraction continues in areas along its margins.
