13/ The Government's consultation on banning moorland burning is now online here.

Make sure you send in your views on why this is great but needs toughening further - you can be sure that the grouse moor owners & their lobbyists will be trying to weaken it! -

11/ The North York Moors, dominated by around 15 huge grouse moor estates, is generally comprised of shallower peat than other parts of the English uplands.

But the new 30cm rule ought to bring far more of these estates in scope of the burning ban.
