Novice Posted May 4, 2021 Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 Please see a survey from the Greater Manchester Combined Authority seeking views and opinions on wildfire risk. https://www.gmconsult.org/strategy-team/public-perception-of-wildfire/ I've no doubt the antis will be circulating this link amongst themselves in an effort to skew the results. No doubt their agenda being to stigmatise controlled cool burning on shooting estates and ignore the clear risk, and large recent wildfires, associated with land owned by the national trust and others where no heather management is performed. The survey asks you to confirm which local authority area you reside in and lists all in UK, so not restricted to Greater Manchester residents only. I've not seen it mentioned on here or other shooting related forums, so thought I'd share and ask people to complete it. Only takes 10 mins if that.

Scully Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 Didn’t those in the ( allegedly ) know stop controlled burning in Yellowstone National Park, only to have to reintroduce it when they discovered that the eventual and inenevitable uncontrolled fire which resulted devastated everything?

Similarly in Australia, controlled burning in the cool months by aboriginal people for 1000's of years, burning increases bio-diversity..https://www.wwf.org.au/what-we-do/species/fire#gs.02o3ee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
