Moorland Association

Moorland Association members are responsible for over a million acres of the moorlands of England and Wales. This includes 860,000 acres of upland heather representing almost all of this precious habitat south of the Scottish Border. The Moorland Association was set up in 1986 to tackle serious declines in the treasured landscapes, dating back to the Second World War.

Working closely with Defra, Natural England, national wildlife charities, conservation trusts and leading countryside organisations, the association lobbies for legislation and actions which protect and preserve the moors and habitats of some of our most precious wildlife.

As well as advising Government, and raising the profile of a considerable conservation and economic commitment, we help members manage their moors so they continue to do well for the benefit of all who depend on them and who love the areas of wilderness and beauty.

Propaganda from the shameful grouse industry! Gamekeepers are criminal thugs who have trapped, poisoned and shot hen harriers out of existence across the Pennines. Devastated moorland mowed, burned and quad biked to death so wealthy tossers can have birds driven on to their guns. End driven shooting now.

Hi there, this is a brilliant video! I'm currently making a short film about hen harriers and their conservation, which I'll be using for my entry in the 'Hen Harrier Day Early Career Naturalist Challenge'. I was wondering if I could use this footage? And/or that in your first video? Given your permission, every time your footage features in the video, I would also ensure that your KZbin channel name is clearly displayed too. Also, if I end up posting the video on my own youtube channel too (very likely), then I will be sure to credit your channel in the description, and encourage people to check out your videos and subscribe to you. I do hope you'd be okay with me using the footage, but if not, that's absolutely fine. The entry deadline is Friday, so if you could get back to me before Thursday at the latest that'd be great! Thanks and best wishes, Alex

Oh dear-- Another shot to the head of the DGS industry -- sometimes it's best to just say nothing

Extract from RPUK website; "The Moorland Association (a wealthy lobby group for grouse moor owners) has published a slick video where they’re trying to claim credit for ‘Bringing back our English Hen Harriers’ (you know, the hen harriers that have been brought to the verge of breeding extinction by, er, criminals on grouse moors)." and "The title sequence shows an adult male Marsh Harrier and then cuts twice to an immature male Pallid Harrier. " It appears that the Moorland Association is more interested in conserving the shooters than the Hen Harriers.

You seem to have problem identifying Hen Harriers. Is that why so make get shot?

It's so depressing people are having to brood manage. All due to the likes of you and scummy gamekeepers. There's such a lack of hen Harriers that you're having to film Marsh Harriers in a hen harrier film. oh dear. Such propaganda

And as soon as the youngsters are released they will fly straight to the habitat where they persecuted, can you explain how this scheme is helping? Stopping persecuting them on grouse moors will help the most.

Why is the first bird shewn a Marsh Harrier. Are you managing them too?

No, it's because the idiots involved in this scheme couldn't tell a Marsh Harrier from a Hen Harrier ;)
