Item information
Description
Presented by Patrick Laurie.
The Classic GCT (now GWCT) “Green Guide” to moorland management – essential reading for keepers, land managers and shooting folk alike.
Excerpt below:
Objectives of grouse management: - The objective of red grouse management is to provide a sustainable harvest of grouse from a specific area of heather moorland within a balanced package of multi-purpose land use. - Multi-purpose land use involves the interests of shepherds, stalkers, and the general public who use the countryside as well as maintaining and enhancing the conservation interest. - Most owners of grouse moors need to produce a reasonable bag of grouse, mostly from driven grouse shooting, although this may not be feasible in some parts of Britain given the constraints of the land and other management priorities. - Multi-purpose land use is important for the uplands and there is no reason why good grouse management cannot run alongside other forms of land use including sheep farming, deer stalking, water catchment, and recreational activities, while maintaining the conservation interest. The only condition is that all parties fairly respect the requirements of other land users.
