Natural England Praises Grouse Moors

Natural England’s Chief Executive, Dr Helen Phillips said: “Heather moorland, brought about by centuries of management for sheep and grouse, plays an essential role in maintaining the wildlife richness and much loved heather clad landscapes of Northern England. Natural England appreciates the very significant benefits that current best practice management on these grouse moors delivers and we applaud the members of the Moorland Association for their continued careful guardianship of these special places."

Countryside Rights of Way Act 2000; Section 23 Dog Restrictions - Sign Guidance

i) This sign is only to be used on CROW access land where s23 dog exclusions are currently in force, and is removed as soon as such exclusions cease; and

ii) The sign is not placed directly on public rights of way, and where it is used adjacent to public rights of way (typically because the right of way provides the access to the CROW access land), the sign is sited and positioned in such a way as to minimise the risk of misleading the public into thinking that dogs are excluded from the public right of way.

The signs (10cms x 15cms) are available from Martin Gillibrand on 01524 846846
