The UK government passed a law in 2019 which banned burning on deep peatlands in protected landscapes. Now, a Sheffield court has convicted a grouse moor for six counts of illegal burning in the first test of the peatland preservation rules. wildmoors.org.uk/grouse-moor-fa…

Showing grouse moors can be prosecuted for breaking the rules banning burning on deep peat is an important step forward. Now, we need to see the law enforced across the uplands and extended to all peatlands. Follow us to join the movement to turn grouse moors into wild moors.

The moorlands are in bloom at present, with cotton grass in its fluffy glory, and young animals and birds being born. But this biodiversity is at risk from wildfire. Don't have fires or barbecues on the moors. Severn Trent #gbnb

No, it's not a great way to cook your food "hiking through the hills" 🤯

We asked Poundstretcher to put protection of nature first and to pull its ads promoting having BBQs in the hills because of the current wildfire alert. And they listened 👏 Now, the retailer needs to follow Aldi Stores UK and others by taking disposable BBQs off their shelves.

Some amazing photos from a grass fire we attended alongside West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service in Barnsley on Friday. Well done to all our crews who attended for containing the fire.
