Countryside Alliance - love the countryside

The moorlands campaign is not just about heather and grouse; it encapsulates all those other aspects that affect the uplands. The major contribution to landscape, other flora and fauna, carbon storage, water supply, local employment and income is therefore promoted as an overall package. Factual and researched based evidence is used to brief Members of Parliament, agencies, authorities and other organisations, as well as members of the public. This is done at moorland open days, on a one to one basis, as well through the Countryside Alliance’s representation on committees and working groups. High profile publicity that promotes, and where necessary defends, grouse shooting and its associated management is also achieved in the national and regional media, and considerable progress has been achieved in changing the attitudes of those that were previously unaware of its significant importance to the uplands and its communities.

 

It is therefore through the promotion of scientific research and education at all levels, that the Countryside Alliance works for you in order to raise the awareness of the importance of sustainable grouse moor management, and to ensure its future not just for our generation, but also for those that follow. We maintain a close relationship with the Moorland Association, as well as with the Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust, and the National Gamekeepers Organisation and by working constructively together on your behalf, our campaign has a strong, coordinated, voice on all moorland issues.
