No doubt NE upland staff stood on this bit of Snilesworth Moor on their recent visit and discussed the ins and outs of the burning code etc.
Burning guidelines (another voluntary code) say the moss layer under the heather on blanket bogs needs to remain intact and that appears to be a bit doubtful here (but is it a blanket bog – it’s so hard to tell), and that summits and windy ridges should be avoided too. Plenty to discuss here then.
This example of burning (and these) was reported to NE last autumn, acknowledged, but the member of the public concerned has had no further response from our wildlife and environmental watchdog. For whom do these people work?
