Earlier this month I visited the @nidderdale_moorland_group , I spent the morning with a grouse keeper on the moor and in the evening I was asked to talk to the group members about the use of social media and how we can use it to promote the work they do.
What struck me is the sheer disparity between the public perception of gamekeepers and the grouse shooting community, and what actually happens on the ground.
The grouse shooting community and gamekeepers are often portrayed in the media as being unapologetic raptor persecutors who only care about volumes of red grouse and nothing else. This couldn’t be further from the truth.
What I witnessed was a moor full of life, threatened bird species in abundance, managed heather with regular fire breaks, a passionate community of people from pub landlords to shop keepers and business owners, and at the helm, gamekeepers who genuinely care about the flora and fauna on the moor they manage.
Yes their job includes legal predator control, but this benefits ALL ground nesting birds including Curlew, Lapwing, Golden plover and many more.
The keepers work in collaboration with other conservation organisations to gather information and their hard work controlling foxes, stoats and other predators, and managing the heather are the very reasons many birdwatchers flock to the areas to see the abundant bird populations.
I’m looking forward to working more with moorland groups in future to help give these communities the credit they deserve and helping to show the great work that gamekeepers do.

I have just spent an inspiring couple of days with the @conservationcommunicationuk team in Arkengarthdale, the most astonishing landscape, alive with an abundance of ground nesting birds with their chicks. This doesn’t happen by accident. Managed moorlands provide the only habitat where these birds are truly flourishing. #whymoorlandsmatter #curlew #lapwing #uplands

A quick visit to the beautiful @swintonestate, a true sporting venue with the most incredible grounds. Starting to feel a bit Christmassy too 🎄🎄

Every time I head north from Oxfordshire and spend time on the moors, I’m blown away by how much unseen work goes into keeping these landscapes alive.
Dry-stone walling, rebuilding grouse butts, maintaining tracks, managing habitats - none of that happens by accident. It’s real skill, real graft and it supports real rural jobs.
I know people have different views on grouse shooting, but the truth is it pumps serious money in to remote communities and keeps a lot of traditional skills going.
Just a bit of appreciation from someone looking in from a distance. The moors don’t look after themselves - people do!

Stepping in to a new chapter!
I’m incredibly excited to begin working full-time on moorland issues, helping protect these iconic landscapes and the rural livelihoods connected to them.
Looking forward to sharing the beauty, reality and importance of grouse moors.
