The incidents happened at around 8.30pm yesterday (7th September at the Tameside Local Nature Reserve off Fazeley Road.
A Staffordshire Police spokesperson said:
“The fires eventually spread and merged causing one large fire covering a substantial amount of land.
“They were started by a group of around five young males.
“Tameside Local Nature Reserve is home to a wealth of wildlife and this deliberate act of destruction to their habitat will no doubt have a detrimental effect.”
