As the grouse season gets underway, we’re diving into the people, politics and partnerships that keep the moorlands alive and thriving.
In this episode, we explore why the grouse season matters, not just for sport but for conservation, community and the rural economy.
We begin with BASC’s head of uplands, Alex Farrell, who offers a clear-eyed view of the current political landscape and what lies ahead for upland shooting.
Then we hear from Martin Quinn, an all-round field sportsman and seasoned picker-upper, as he walks us through a day on the moors, working his dogs and sharing the often-unseen camaraderie that powers every shoot day.
To finish, we chat with conservationist and author Ian Coghill, who explains why he sees grouse moor management as one of the UK’s real conservation success stories.
