In the vast landscapes of our moorlands, a powerful story unfolds. "Enough Is Enough" is more than a film; it's a call to empower rural workers, especially gamekeepers, whose tireless efforts contribute immeasurably to our biodiversity, economy, and local communities. Gamekeepers are the unsung heroes working tirelessly every day, ensuring red-listed species thrive in the habitats they carefully manage. Gamekeepers aren't just workers; they are community builders. Through their dedication, local communities flourish, businesses thrive, and a sense of togetherness strengthens. MSPs will consider amendments to the Wildlife Management and Muirburn Bill from Wednesday 24 January. We urge MSPs to think of rural workers and their families when they cast their votes in the Scottish Parliament. Rural workers are playing a key role in enhancing biodiversity across the Scottish Uplands, and making landscapes more resilient to climate change. If the Wildlife Management and Muirburn Bill remains in its current form, it will actively compromise this integral contribution to the fabric of rural Scotland.

The crucial role that gamekeepers, stalkers and rural workers played in tackling the huge wildfire at Cannich is being explained in our new film below! Yesterday gamekeepers spoke to Kate Forbes MSP, of the role they played alongside the Scottish Fire & Rescue Service, providing expert knowledge as well as estates supplying vital equipment such as argocats, fogging units and leaf blowers to tackle and contain the wildfire. ‘First and foremost, I would like to thank all of the firefighters, gamekeepers, rural workers and communities who played an active part in tackling the recent wildfires in Cannich and Daviot. ‘I held a wildfire summit recently, which was a positive first step in learning the lessons of the recent fires and adapting the approach to future fires. I’m grateful to everybody who contributed to the constructive discussion. ‘The clear and consistent message is that wildfires are likely to become more intense and more frequent, as is seen across parts of Europe, unless decisive action is taken. ‘ As such we must ensure that we use as many techniques as possible at our disposal for combating fire, including helicopters dropping water but also man-made breaks in vegetation, usually created through backburning.’ - Kate Forbes MSP. Film produced by Kirk Norbury Filmmaker & Photographer on behalf of Scotland’s Regional Moorland Groups.

Muirburn is often miss-understood in terms of its function, purpose and benefits to the landscape. This film will guide viewers through a brief understanding of muirburn from the very people who use it. Not only is muirburn essential for protecting our upland heather moors, amassing 70% of the world's habitat, it benefits an array of wildlife and is essential for the prevention of wildfires. This film was made in conjunction with the Loch Ness Rural Communities and Grampian Moorland Group Filmed and edited by Pace Productions UK.
