 | | Wildlife-rich Askham Bogs will benefit from the largest share of the wildlife trust's windfall. |
 | | The 120-acre bogs, by the A64 near Copmanthorpe, will see £320,000 spent to preserve the wetland habitat, home to rare beetles and spiders and the royal fern and water violet. |
 | | A Malton beauty spot is also in line for a slice of the cash - Jeffrey Bog, just south west of the town, where wild flowers such as orchids grow, is to get a new sluice, a bridge and fencing. |
