Q. Why do Natural England manage the heathland by burning, cutting and grazing?

A - It’s a cheap source of food for livestock.                                                              N50 01.302 W005 05.592

B - Heathland plants are invasive and need to be stopped from spreading.                   N50 03.487 W005 13.377        

C - To allow specialist plants to colonise areas with less trees and grasses.                 N50 01.789 W005 10.468

Trail head way-pointed for access to number 18.
