We’ve had a fantastic (and freezing) day planting sphagnum moss on Burbage Moor today with our Thursday volunteers and @NaturalEngland’s uplands team. Through cutting and rewetting, we are restoring the ecology of this special place with help from @moorsforfuture

Great to have the Rural Crime Team from Derbyshire Police with us this afternoon - lots of knowledge sharing and discussions around joint working in 2025.

RT @Natures_Voice: We need grouse moor licensing in England now. It's time for new legislation to make it happen.

We are advising avoiding Burbage South quarry while we assess the rock in the quarry. Access rights are unaffected. @Team_BMC

@UlleyRanger @NorthleesBill For us every person asked to leave and does isnt seen as a success. When people visit and help us look after our moorlands we count that a success. Our success rate is how many we welcome to stay. If that makes sense.

@UlleyRanger @NorthleesBill I think the important thing here is that every situation and group is different. We want people to enjoy and look after our moorlands and woodlands. Damage by fire to property, our wildlife and natural,cultural heritage is protected by both bylaws and criminal law.

We are still tackling the fire on #BurbageMoor with the emergency services and ranger teams. #LadyCannings is under control for now, although we ask that you avoid the entire area to keep safe and allow easy access for attending crews. #EasternMoors #Ringinglow #wildfire

@MickLacey @Lukesteele4 @SheffCouncil @WildSheffield @LizBallard_SRWT @ZacGoldsmith @BenGoldsmith @CllrTerry_Fox @DouglasJSheff @alisonclareteal @CraigBennett3 Absolutely, resurveyed by team and volunteers and doing well last season. Causes of decline of this woodland indicator species as cited by plantlife are woodland clearance and moorland burning.

@Lukesteele4 That looks like the very special willow fringed acid wet flushes on Big Moor. A glimpse of a once more wooded mosaic.

@prosocialplace We haven’t planted any so far, but it’s certainly something we we’ll look into for future planting.

(5/5) This "bundle planting" approach consists of a mixture of thorny species and trees (mainly Rowan, Oak and Birch) to increase their resilience to deer browsing, and reduce the need for guards and fencing, where conditions are suitable.
