Campaign to Support Moorland Life

Families, businesses and estates in rural Scotland have launched a new initiative urging politicians to recognise the importance of moorland life to the environment, wildlife and communities. Rural communities across Scotland are to write to parliamentarians from all parties and invite them to see first-hand the multiple benefits delivered across moorland areas of the country. The Support Moorland Life initiative has been launched at a time when moorland management has been under intense scrutiny and the Scottish Government has already announced its intention to license grouse shooting. Support Moorland Life aims to highlight the importance of moorland as a habitat and its contribution to Scotland, and how it can create thriving communities in moorland areas.
