More details

Wildfires are one of the biggest threats to our Moorland. Climate change, irresponsible behaviour and the use of disposable bbqs have led to an increase in these distressing events. Firefighters and volunteers are being asked to risk their lives to battle these fires in terrifying conditions and local communities are seeing their environment being destroyed Our wildlife is being devastated. Nesting birds are being forced to abandon their eggs and mass habitat destruction is occurring.
