would I be right in thinking, management of moors for grouse shooting (with associated sheep grazing) would be best for both keeping fuel load low as well as allowing peat to continue to accumulate?

That’s what they reckon, and stopping or trying to stop the controlled burning will mean more of these large fires as it’s all woody tinder, make you wonder what affect it’ll have on the surrounding grouse shoots

I am picking up idiot bricks In the heat
Can see across to stood pike from my hay shed , can’t see fire but there’s a faint smell of smoke in the air ( hope it’s not my shed full of hay )
Looking from our top field, I can see from beyond Mythomroid right along the hill top to beyond Littleborough, its hazy but no fire or smoke

I heard on the radio that fires account for 20% of carbon emissions, that is a pretty sobering figure

Isn’t it wrong though?, even fire brigade say that controlled burning works, better for bio diversity, but because it’s primarily for grouse shooting it’s a bad thing, them who shout loudest get heard

Eco religion rules over common sense in this country , even more so now this twàt is in charge of it

And they think they are doing their cause a service by calling us all deniers who disagree with their religion
