NT seems muddled on wanting woodland or moor, too! Good to see you at Womad

4 million members versus 10 people and a dog. It's a no brainer, really.

Why do you assume those 4 million are grouse shoot supporters? Unlikely. And 100000 + is hardly ten people, though some may own dogs.

No idea what that is but there was a petition against driven grouse shoots and the damage it causes with 100000 + signatures.

There certainly was. And when it had its day in Parliament last October, not one MP voted in its favour. What does that tell you?

That our parliament ignores science and the will of its people.

Or won't be blackmailed by a tiny minority of AR fanatics, more like. Have a nice day.

Fanatics - gunmen burning peat, illegally killing our raptors and slaughtering mountain hares for bloodsports+ £. There, fixed it for you.

If this new project goes ahead, it is a perfect opportunity for independent scientists to gather before/after evidence. NT do you agree?

…be compatible with our aims of public access and conservation, in accordance with a national code of good practice. 3/3

The problem is that DGS is incompatible with nature conservation. Its sole focus is to create artificial superabundance of a single species.

A very sweeping statement Squire! Define 'Nature Conservation' for me? The countryside is essentially shaped by man.Yes?

Yes it is but surely better if some areas weren't and could be left to thrive on their own before man decided to destroy everything?

To let areas 'thrive' without intervention in the UK is just a dream! No management is always to the detriment of others

I think cancelling NT membership is the wrong approach - far better to make them aware of your feelings as a paying member
