I S I T T I M E TO B A N M U I R B U R N ? Time to ban muirburn in Scotland because of the Climate Emergency? Time to think again! Gamekeepers are calling on Scottish Government to protect the practice of muirburn and acknowledge its role in preventing wildfires and protecting carbon stores. See here Scotland’s Regional Moorland Groups latest film: “ Muirburn & the Climate Emergency” produced by @Kirk Norbury Photographer & Filmmaker PLEASE SHARE FAR AND WIDE TO HELP US GET THIS MESSAGE ACROSS

🍫🔥 M A R S B A R VS M U I R B U R N 🔥🍫 Tis the season for controlled cool burns! Muirburn is proving to be a controversial management tool, by so called environmentalists, who claim it burns deep into our peatlands and is part of the growing climate emergency! So we have put it to the test .... will the Mars bar melt with the heat of the fire? WILL IT MUIRBURN?? Full Take: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrQPQ7ZxLAw

This films looks at research being undertaken by the German Game Conservancy, during a project in Scotland, to better understand how our use of the land affects wildlife. Film produced by www.paceproductionsuk.com A new film charting the exceptional array of species found by international scientists on an Angus Glens estate has been launched. In Search of Science, produced by Pace Productions in conjunction with the Angus Glens Moorland Group, follows visits to Glenogil Estate by German conservationist Dr Daniel Hoffman and his team from Game Conservancy Deutschland. In total, 98 different bird species were found at Glenogil, and the estate has been lauded for its land management which has led to it becoming a haven for biodiversity largely unseen in mainland Europe. Daniel Hoffman said: “This is the third year that we have worked here at Glenogil and so far we've found 98 different bird species in this whole area. We wanted to show other estates, other countries in Britain and in the whole of Europe, that you can have this biodiversity only when you have the ecologically correct form of management in an area. “When I was here for the first time it was amazing to see the biodiversity. We read papers and articles saying that species such as the curlew, a flagship species in nature conservation, are endangered in Britain but you can't believe that when you are here. We find golden plovers with a high population density, and even on these few hectares here on Glenogil, we find almost double the number of breeding pairs that you find in whole Germany. They breed here because the landscape is managed as it is. “At Glenogil you have habitat management and predation control so the survival rate of our target species is so good. This create a kind of donator population and other areas they will have benefit from the work that is done here. If you have an area and say, "Oh, okay, we do nothing here," then you will lose biodiversity, and that's what we want to show. We want to show that you have to do habitat management and predation control to have a high level of biodiversity from different species, all different species.”

This film has been made for the Angus Glens and Grampian moorland group to celebrate Scottish Tweed, and show the strong connection between this most famous cloth and the people who live and work on the land.
