A huge blaze ripped through Dove Stone Reservoir last night - destroying a massive area of new woodland which was planted by local volunteers.
Site manager for the Oldham beauty spot, Kate Hanley, said the fire on Saturday evening (19 March) burned around two and a half football pitches worth of land.
