You are so correct,

The moor that I am familiar with that lost its lease from the government, is a wildlife desert now. No diversity in the age classes of Heather, a fraction of the wildlife resides there now than it did when it was keepered and for what?

A century of management erased by fiat.

In the end antis will say it was the grouse shooting communitys fault.

Out there doing it best I can.
