Wildfires are concern in many areas across the city-region, including Bolton s Winter Hill. GMFRS have recently launched its first ever Fire Plan, outlining how the organisation will carry out work to help make Greater Manchester safer. The service s work supports Greater Manchester s Fiver Year Environment Plan, which looks at how natural assets can be protected. Peatlands play a vital role in the fight against climate change, and the Greater Manchester Peat Pilot carried out research into the potential of peat in helping Greater Manchester to become carbon neutral in 2038. Those involved in the project mapped the size and condition of peatlands across the city-region, including the Winter Hill area.
