Item information
Description
Presented by Dick Bartlett, British Moorlands:
Spend the day with Dick Bartlett to learn about British Moorlands' unique approach to grouse moor management. Using innovative and progressive new techniques, British Moorlands have pioneered some interesting new methods for grouse production, and many of these challenge accepted tradition - the day is a must-see for anyone with an interest in grouse and moorland management, and it takes place in the glorious surroundings of Speyside.
The morning will be spent counting breeding pairs of grouse using pointing dogs to find and flush the pairs which will give an indication of the shooting potential of the 2019 season. This is fascinating to watch if you enjoy seeing good gundog work.
The afternoon offers you hands-on experience of moorland work
such as heather management, grit site selection and operation,
water provision for upland wildlife and predator trapping
systems.
The whole day is guided by Dick Bartlett who will explain how
modern technology is used by British Moorlands to produce grouse
shooting which is technically and financially sustainable, and also
affordable to the ordinary shooter.
Please see www.britishmoorlands.com for more information on
our work to save our heather moorland heritage through viable
grouse production for shooting and falconry.
Suitable for a group of 2 - 10.
