[QUOTE="Agrivator, post: 7852111, member: 461"] Plenty of ling has been flayed where the terrain is suitable. But expert burning possibly releases less carbon than driving up and down with a narrow flail mower with a diesel-powered tractor. Regardless of what the environmentalists claim, a well-managed heather moor with regular burning benefits not only grouse, but also sheep and birds of various kinds (Golden plover, Snipe, Curlew). And it also helps reduce the risk of wild fires, and avoids the serious damage where uncontrollable fires get into the peat. And if we really wanted to increase the diversity bird life on heather moors, we should allow grants for liming and reseeding small patches with suitable grass/clover/herb mixes - even if if they have to be fenced off from sheep which are only allowed access at certain times.
