The new Friends of the Dales' 'Eyes on the Skies' initiative appears to be simply another attempt by the RSPB to incite hostility against gamekeepers and land managers, rather than work together for the benefit of the Dales and its wildlife more widely c4pmc.co.uk/post/is-the-ne…


Lack of scientific consideration and class war behind the heather burning ban highlighted in The Spectator. c4pmc.co.uk/post/lack-of-s…


The fuss over wildfires and cool burns is not going away, so Natural England have taken the step of getting their Chief Scientist, Professor Sallie Bailey, to write a blog on how the magic works. Unfortunately, Sallie is not an expert on wildfire c4pmc.co.uk/post/the-chief…


The Tarras Valley Nature Reserve has the makings of a disaster. It is both rewilding in its purest form, and a predicted catastrophe. The RSPB told SNH that if the gamekeepers left, hen harrier numbers would crash. Now, they have watched it happen: c4pmc.co.uk/post/lessons-f…


The National Sheep Association (NSA) have spoken out about this year’s dramatic record year of wildfires, highlighting the urgent need to better recognise the role of grazing animals and active farming in reducing fire risk. Read more: c4pmc.co.uk/post/national-…


"you're going to get many more wildfires and much, much more carbon pushed up into the atmosphere... it's just going to become a tinderbox." Dairy farmer and columnist @Jamie_Blackett warns against Natural England's disastrous attempts to further restrict heather burning.

Listen to @MoorlandAssoc Chief Exec @AndrewGilruth explain to Rod Liddle why so many red-listed bird species are flourishing on managed moors.


Bob Berzins and his merry march of madness. To coin a phrase from Labour, never has a man been more guilty of persistent knobheadery. @BerzinsBob c4pmc.co.uk/post/bob-berzi…


The 2018 Saddleworth fire was made worse by a lack of controlled burning, says Thirsk and Malton MP @kevinhollinrake. Managed moors are firebreaks; unmanaged ones are kindling.


Think grouse shooting is unregulated? Think again...


Lib Dem MP for Inverness Angus MacDonald tells MPs they have a simple choice: curlew with gamekeepers, or no gamekeepers and no curlew.


Labour MP for Bishop Auckland @SamJRushworth reminisces about Let's Learn Moor and the rare bird species that thrive on the moors because of the work of gamekeepers.


Chris Packham and @WildJustice_org say grouse shooting is "economically insignificant" - tell that to the thousands of people across the country whose jobs depend on it. Thank you @RishiSunak


It's ok @ChrisGPackham, everybody hurts sometimes. Read our report on Monday's driven grouse shooting debate: c4pmc.co.uk/post/packham-s…
