British
Moorlands Ltd. is a company dedicated to habitat improvement for the
benefit of wildlife, with special emphasis on gamebirds.Our work is based
on helping land managers to get the job done by supplying equipment, technology
and contract services where machines and their operators carry out specified
works throughout the UK and Ireland.
Grouse
moor owners benefit from our new techniques which pay off well in increased
grouse bags. We can help the keeper who is struggling with predation control
and heather management because his acreage is so large. Moors which produce
little or no grouse can benefit from our fully costed rejuvenation programmes.
Our useful services include:
- Heather Management – see "Management Plan for Grouse"
- Predation Management – see "Better Predation Control"
- Provision of grit onto moorland
- Provision of wells and drinking water holes and rain catchers for
dry moors
- Blocking of grips and drains to create boggy areas
- Removal of unwanted trees from moors
- Construction of tracks and roads for access
- Fencing for sheep management
Approved contractors carry out the works to British Moorlands standards.
Projects may qualify for grant aid.
Lowland Projects
British Moorlands is glad to be involved with any wild game conservation
activity. e.g. The predation control systems are ideal for grey partridge
schemes and wild pheasants.
Outlook
British Moorlands personnel have many years experience of analysing avian
problems and developing cost effective solutions which work under modern
conditions. We continually seek specialist advice and data from within the
world of gamebirds and also from outside, so this can be passed on in systems
which are regularly improved and updated to benefit from new technologies.
We aim to work closely with conservation advisory services such as A.D.A.S,
S.A.C., B.A.S.C., G.C.T., H.T. and M.A..
